Probably most non-investors are completely oblivious to the rate of inflation, real or perceived, since it's not currently that painful for them. Other than gasoline and heating fuel, which most attribute to foreign policy rather than economics, most seem not to notice. It will take rates like those experienced around the time of the Carter administration for the general population to feel any pain.

Amazing, isn't it? The gov't claims a few % annual inflation and nobody screams. A few trips shopping and gassing says they're lying.

CRB is about double gov't CPI. Now CRB isn;t "weighted"- -but by the same token it isn't "massaged" for political purposes. And CPI is nassaged for more than political purposes- -numerous gov't payments are "indexed" to it.
