Reminds me of Nixon's "the rate of increase of inflation is going down" comment and the associated quip that it was "the first time a sitting president used the third derivative to advance his case for reelection."
This isn't that. The rate of inflation is going down, not the rate of increase of inflation. 8.2% in September, 7.7% now. The second derivative of prices, not the third.
I'm aware of that, it just reminded me of that incident and I thought others would find it funny too is all.
