I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic. If you have been investing for a while, you'll know that the official numbers are a scam. TIPS pay less than 0.1% yearly. If you have been paying your bills, shopping for a house, or buying new stuff; you should know that real inflation is probably in the 5-25% range depending where you live. Heck, even in this crisis house prices can't get down. The world economy is inflating like crazy.
