Easy, just have the CPI be even more cooked than it already is. Inflation is around 10% these days by old methodology, but the government decided it wanted much lower.

That's from 2011 and CPI used to take food and oil much more into account. If we used the same measurement in 2015, we'd see huge deflation

Nope, it's around 10% according to the 1980 methodology.



The 1990 methodology has about 6%.

-Nonsense. If anything, inflation is overestimated. ShadowStats is a bogus website.

OK, 10% is too much, but the idea that inflation is only 2% is laughable.
