I read it, but I was playing devils advocate arguing the inflation number are incorrect relative to the value of the dollar 30 years ago on essential goods.
Is this going to turn into one of those "the CPI is rigged, the actual inflation rate is..." posts?
Well "rigged" is a bit much, but if people spend large amounts of their money on things that are not included in the CPI basket, then the CPI is an incomplete measure.
