I used to teach price indices in my introduction to statistics course. Kevin Hassett knows this... to accurately compute a price index you measure the prices of the SAME ITEMS priced at the SAME PLACE over time.

Is it required to leave your honor and dignity at the door?

Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."
