Nobody can agree on the inflation rate because the government wants it
to look lower, statisticians base it on some "market basket" of goods
but not the same basket you and I buy, and it affects low-income
households differently from higher income samples.
In any case, I have YET to see ANYONE'S "inflation rate" that goes up as
quickly as my cost of living! During my adult life postage has increased
more than 12-fold, hamburger has gone from 3 pounds/dollar to more like
$3/pound. In four years my real estate tax doubled. Gasoline has
increased nearly ten-fold.
It's all a scam, folks. Don't use the government figures for anything
serious.
