It doesn't matter where the graph comes from the methodology will be the same.
They’ve been jacking around with the CPI for years.
Even if the SS administration is playing games with the CPI, that doesn't change how it's calculated.
They can’t admit and/or pay more than 2 and a half percent COLA to retirees or they’d be in even worse shape.
Does this, or anything else you have prove the real rate of inflation is 10-14%?
See post 38. Farmers and ranchers like us know nothing about some of the items on the CPI. Not in our budgets.
