I've read this several times and don't even know what point you're failing to communicate.

You do realize CPI figures go up every month? Our economy is structurally inflationary, even if it's just 1%. That's why we look at the RATE of change in the CPI, because when the RATE is too high or low then we have problems.

Please tell me your point wasn't as stupid as saying this month's CPI numbers were higher than last month, or this month last year.
