You say the CPI is OVERSTATED. Let me repeat that. You say the CPI is OVERSTATED. That we get TOO MUCH from it.
My fucking light bill has gone up more than my increase in the last 3 years without changing a single thing, AND going to energy-efficient lightbulbs. The quality of food I can buy has gone up in price by a stupid amount, forcing me to less and less quality of nutritious food. The cost of EVERYTHING has gone up by MUCH MORE than the miniscule amount of 'increase' I got. Even the goddamn medicare premium has outstripped the increase in the CPI...and you think its OVERSTATED?!?
I have one question for you.
WHAT'S THE WEATHER LIKE IN YOUR REALITY?
Or did you simply overlook that some of the MOST BASIC INDICATORS of inflation are simply IGNORED by the CPI as it stands?
