Cooked numbers purposefully meant to deceive by Obamanite bean counters. These are the same guys who decided to leave the costs of food and gas out of the inflation index. What a sick joke. The REAL inflation rate is far higher then this "administration" is reporting.

If you use the same formulation of the Carter years, it's been running at around 15%. For virtually all of Obama's time in office.
