| DL=, /LP, /TX | WASHINGTON, DC - America's most watched economist |
| has called for an independent commission to determine what the | |
| true U.S. inflation rate should be. | |
| Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan said yesterday | |
| the Labor Department's consumer price index overstates | |
| inflation by between 0.5 and 1.5 percentage points. | |
| /TX | As a result, America's elderly and poor are getting too |
| large annual increases in their social security cheques, | |
| Greenspan told the Senate finance committee. | |
| "There is almost a 100% probability that we are | |
| overcompensating the average social security recipient for | |
| increases in the cost of living," Greenspan said. | |
| A commission appointed by President Bill Clinton also said | |
| CPI was overstated and that an adjustment would save the U.S. | |
| government billions of dollars in social security payments, | |
| making it easier to wipe out the US$160-billion annual deficit. | |
| But Greenspan said any change to the CPI should not be a | |
| "political fix" designed to make balancing the U.S. budget more | |
| palatable. | |
| Instead, he said, "we should let evidence, not politics, | |
| drive policy," and called for an independent body to look at the | |
| problem. | |
| There is a growing clamor among U.S. economists to adjust the | |
| Labor Department's approach to determining CPI, arguing it does | |
| not take in technology improvements or the propensity of comsumers | |
| to switch to cheaper products when faced with price increases. | |
| While a change in CPI is popular among U.S. politicians, | |
| it is meeting heavy resistance from powerful lobby groups that | |
| do not want to see cutbacks in annual increases in social | |
| security. | |
| The Labor Department says that inflation in the U.S. is | |
| running at about 2.2% annually. Other economists, including | |
| those on the presidential commission, put the actual rate at | |
| closer to 1.1%. | |
| In Canada, Statistics CAnada uses a CPI calculation that | |
| most Canadian economists believe represents a more accurate | |
| inflation picture than in the U.S. | |
