The blue lines represent what inflation would like today if we continued using early 1980's methodology... and the red lines are what you are fed today after "1001 adjustments". I think this is what the American people feel, but how many Dow points would we lose if we started printing 14% CPI numbers? (Remember I keep saying 13-13.5% is the true inflation since our IMPORTED goods are coming in at that level, and we import almost everything) - this tells me that the way the government used to report things was in fact, relatively accurate. fundmymutualfund.com
