Those numbers aren’t going to falsify themselves

To be honest, I am not familiar with the "Consumer Expenditure Data" information and how it has been used in the past.

They look at what people actually spend money on to see how to weight the various items to come up with a total inflation score.
For example, beef is up 20% or something. How big an effect should that have on the general inflation number? Depends on how much it features in the average American’s grocery bill.
