look at the median CPI. it's much higher. and remember the core CPI excludes such nonessentials as food and energy, which have risen sharply. producer prices have risen but there's been little pass-through due to overcapacity--i.e., producers have absorbed higher costs. this absorption is seen in the contraction of profits. corporate profits are now below 4% of GDP, i believe a postwar low. traditionally profits were 6% of GDP, though this will probably not happen again due to the rampant expropriation of shareholder wealth by insiders.
