Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) calculated using the 1980 methodology by Shadowstats:
Using the 1980 method, CPI is still around 13% YoY compared to the 5% reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
For background, the method used to calculate CPI has changed several times since 1980 in order to show a lower CPI number.
