Government: "Inflation who?" Europe & Rest of the world: "Don't worry about it" USA citizens: "Dear can you bring me some more dollar bills we are out of timber..."
According to the CPI, there is no inflation, you are just getting "more" for the higher prices! Its hedonic pricing! That's how they screw the elders on Social Security who's income is tied to the CPI.
ABSOFRICKINLUTELY! (1) They "creatively define" how inflation is to be measured, (2) they LIE about it, and (3) what is claimed as "growth" is mostly just inflated prices.
