What % of your budget is food & energy? Combined it’s about 12-18% of mine depending on the month. We need more included besides those 2 things whether you like it or not.

How about radios and computers? There should be a separate index for durable goods (such as they are from China) and consumables. Why have one index?

Note: The CPI chart on the home page reflects our estimate of inflation for today as if it were calculated the same way it was in 1990. The CPI on the Alternate Data Series tab here, reflects the CPI as if it were calculated using the methodologies in place in 1980. Further background on the Alternate CPI and Ongoing M3 series is available in the Archives in the August 2006 SGS newsletter.
From here.
