that's what is so frustrating to me. From the BLS itself the "The Consumer Price Index is basically a measure of changes in prices of the goods and services bought by urban " wage earner and clerical worker families "
That's not what CPI measures though! Not if housing and transportation, i.e., the renting of your home and the purchase or lease of a new/used vehicle are over 50% of CPI!
yet, people don't get it. They scream at me that I'm an inflation denier. I"m not. It's just your measure of inflation is WRONG!
