Of course they did, they are the fox watching the hen house. They are the biggest debtors on the planet, and pay over a trillion dollars a year in interest alone, without paying back a penny in principal. Why wouldn’t they manipulate the data to undermine reporting real inflation in an attempt to keep interest rates artificially low? Answer, because they can! We live in an economy that rewards irresponsible levels of debt and penalizes responsible savers. Not a good long term policy.
