Thanks. It would seem that official CPI measures leave out many financial components that absorbed quite a bit of money supply/credit and include the rise in housing prices, for example, as "owner equivalent rent" and the like, thereby falsely portraying the effects of credit creation. I am persuaded that John Williams has a good handle on this at shadowstats.com and that Richebacher at richebacher.com has accurately analysed the failure in the US over the last 5+ years to create wealth through savings and capital investment and properly focused on the fact that credit creation has outpaced savings by leaps and bounds.
