### Comment:
Cpi removes housing, energy, health care, and education, do basically everything people actually have to spend on. And even in goods it allows substitution, so when a Honda Civic costs $28k, it doesn't really because you can buy a used one from the dealer. No inflation.

 Still barely 2%, mostly less since the recession.
