We are not comparing apples to apples. The BLS changed the CPI calculation method - was it politically motivated to deceive Americans about the real impact of the failed economic policies?

Why does everything feel so unaffordable?

According to the pre-1983 CPI calculation method, inflation is nearly TRIPLE what current CPI data says.

If you used pre-1983 CPI, inflation peaked at 18% in November 2022 and currently stands at a whopping 8%.

Under this method, housing inflation more than DOUBLED since 2020 alone.

Even in August 2023, this CPI inflation method would've put inflation at 12%.

Perhaps this is why there is such a large gap between headlines and reality.

Are our inflation formulas off?
