That's interesting. I will admit I am a CPI skeptic. I do not understand how it is being calculated. Half the stuff people buy today did not exist 20 years ago.

That's interesting. I will admit I am a CPI skeptic. I do not understand how it is being calculated. Half the stuff people buy today did not exist 20 years ago. There is such an abundance of the other stuff, it is always heavily discounted. Essential things that have obviously increased in price, like homes and food, are not included in the CPI. Is there a "CPI for Dummies" anywhere out there?
