Once the government bean counters back out the "volatiles" of; food, energy, household products and housing there is no problem. For instance, if you need a truck load of cement or a gross of Chinese calculators I think you'd find those prices are pretty stable.

Perhaps you and other journalists can get together and prove that the "consumer price index" we are fed is undoubtedly a massive fraud spanning decades. One only needs to look to oil, gas, housing, food, health care and college education to know that the lower prices of Chinese shoes, clothing made in Bangladesh, and HDTV's from God knows where cannot possible have balanced this out to the "low rates" of inflation constantly quoted.
I used to be an accountant, and accountants are skeptical by nature. CPI is a hoax. GDP may very well be a hoax too.
