Well that's a stupid assumption. Inflation fights unemployment, and if we had a modest amount right now (4% or so yearly) we'd be on the path to getting back to full employment, despite having a higher "misery index" score.

OK... I'll bite...

How does inflation create jobs?

I am looking forward to this....

Cool. It's at its highest since the year before Reagan was re-elected. People are unemployed. What's the story here?

It was higher the Reagan got elected.  It is not just unemployment, but inflation.

It also relates to how people, consumers, produces, and, of course, voters, perceive the economy.

The economy sucks.  Thanks for the update.  Isn't their a gold thread that needs you to post some replies to yourself?
For some strange reason MY misery index just went up.
