The government is understating inflation. The adjustment for "a computer that costs $500 today is of far higher quality than a computer that cost $500 two years ago", is erroneous. Most consumers rarely benefit on an one-to-one basis by the higher quality of their new computer. Price increases on food and energy, on the other hand, are affecting everyone every day.
