"The consumer price index (CPI) is a monthly measurement of U.S. prices for household goods and services. It reports inflation (rising prices) and deflation (falling prices). Both can hurt a healthy economy.

The Federal Reserve monitors price changes to ensure economic growth remains stable. The Federal Reserve uses monetary policy tools to intervene if it detects too much inflation or deflation."

Excuse me but where does it say that the Federal Reserve measures the worth of a dollar against foreign currencies?

Uh, here, among a million other places: https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/feds-notes/the-international-role-of-the-u-s-dollar-20211006.htm https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/feds-notes/the-international-role-of-the-u-s-dollar-20211006.htm

You must have been asleep during the Trump administration or ignored his push for the Fed to devalue the dollar to increase exports and decrease imports. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/trump-shot-down-navarros-recommendation-to-weaken-the-dollar-as-white-house-searches-for-ways-to-juice-the-economy/2019/07/26/5e2e85f6-afc5-11e9-a0c9-6d2d7818f3da_story.html

None of this has anything to do with the price of Lactaid or whatever other grocery item you now find too expensive -- or more too expensive since you were complaining about the price of groceries five years ago.

Go right ahead and pretend that the value of a dollar isn't what it can buy but rather what you could trade it for in foreign currencies. It simply makes you look silly.

It depends on what you buy, aka where it is produced.

The Dumbass makes yet more noise since no one has paid him any attention. Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater.

Of course Shakespeare and other authors and playwrights used the fool to criticize society by having him say really wise things, with the implication that if this dumb guy knows this, why don't the rest of you supposedly smart people know it? And by having the fool say it, the writer obtains plausible deniability.

I'm still waiting for you to demonstrate that you know anything whatsoever about currency evaluations. A mole could go right over your head.
