CPI to me is changes in the purchasing power of my dollar. That in reality is also a moving target if you are flexible. What if I was to move from expensive South Florida to say more expensive Munich or inexpensive Danville with my dollars? All I know is the numbers reported for several years running now are much less than I see as the real loss of the purchasing power of my dollars. Chalk it up to a world awash with dollars due to our trade deficits keeps down long end and over inflates bonds and RE All smoke and mirrors just like the Bush tax cuts. Instead your RE property taxes triple. Cost push inflation not only due to higher oil prices but also real estate prices all that must be passed along to the consumer. Add in printing presses/demand pull and budget deficits and what a mess we are in.. Stay inverted and we are screwed. Or let the dollar slide or bond market requires higher premium for currency and inflation risk and we are screwed...
