7.5%. Doesn't seem that unbelievable.

Well, it doesn't seem bizarrely implausible. It has spiked even higher than that in my lifetime (not even counting recently).

The trouble is that I've been told that it was far lower. By official government sources.

It would be interesting to include the DJIA into CPI though. I bet some people would lose their shit over that.
