I am confused. Largely because I am a simple guy, and when we get in to the weeds, I need to be helped along a bit, sorry for that.
Understandable (and my apologies as well). However, i believe you would achieve better understanding if you were to view things in an objective manner as you do below.
Part of the problem in this, and it isn't necessarily a current administration invention, or problem, but part of the problem is that many of these indices have been manipulated over time to make each concurring administration look better, and have cover for real numbers not being favorable...So, maybe it is just me, but I am highly skeptical of anything at this point.
You have to keep in mind that these updated calculations are put in place to improve accuracy. In the case of including input costs that produce intellectual property, measuring of output is that much more accurate.
