"...seems to me it wasn't very long ago that everybody was saying that the CPI overstates inflation."

Define "everybody". It's been my opinion, still unaltered, that CPI consistently understates inflation. Hedonic adjustments and other outright manipulation have been misrepresenting true CPI, both to help relieve wage demand pressures and to help the government cheat Social Security and other inflation indexed entitlement recipients.
