How can that be... inflation was 1.5%??

No chit!

I was simple trying to explain to SB why one would use constant dollars when trying to figure out the "real" GDP. He was getting confused about it the difference between the two measurements. I used an extreme example, just to show why you can't trust the straight dollar figure. I wasn't stating that's what the inflation rate was. But then you knew that, right?
