OK, it does say that and I say that is total bullshit.

The CPI has just been changed along with the unemployment rate for mass consumption.

I have no rent or mortgage cost monthly so the declines in housing costs are meaningless.

I know that real unemployment/underemployment is 5% to 15% higher in my county ( unfortunately race has a lot to do with it) than is reported.

I know what food costs and fuel costs.

I know that you can twist statistics to say what you want rather easily.
