I especially like the fact where the article states in no uncertain terms that not only is the basket of goods incorrect for the average consumer, but also that the inflation of the representative components is understated. A double whammy Case in point was Health care. Only 4% increase a year in medical costs. Who are they kidding.

Inflation is here, whether stated via the CPI or not and it is probably closer to 6% then 3%
