Participant[img_assist|nid=12879|title=Actual CPI|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=400|height=260]
looks like 6% inflation to me – and you want to ‘invest’ your money at 3.5%? and pay taxes on the ‘gains’ from that investment?
if you don’t understand the difference between the two CPI charts, investigate how the govt compiles the CPI – pay particular attention to ‘substitution’ and ‘hedonic adjustment’

that’s pretty funny, Eugene
if John William’s recreation of the pre-Clinton era CPI methodology is ‘pseudoscience’, how would you describe hedonic adjustments and substitution? or do you even understand what they are?
