Hi,

When you adjust for inflation, which numbers are you using ?

i.e. government supplied numbers or something like shadowstats.com ?

Chart of U.S. Consumer Inflation (CPI)

Note: Shadow Stats's numbers are also gov't numbers, albeit previous iterations of the calculation. They happen to think the previous iterations were more accurate. That is, ST numbers are what would have been had adjustments not been made in '83 or '83.

Cheers
