Consumer Price Index info
The Bureau of Labor Statistics compiles and distributes the CPI. Their website, bls.gov has a lot of information.
Here is a link to recent data on the CPI- U (Urban): http://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.t02.htm It shows the inflation for the last two six-month periods as being 2.1 %, annualized. Just picking some of the biggest delta's from the last 6 mos. annual rate info: Fuels (for buildings, not vehicle related) up 18.9% Apparel down 5.1% Gasoline up 5.6% Education up 6% Personal Computers and Peripheral Equipment down 19% Medical Care was up only 2.8%, but Hospital and Related Services was up 4.2% A special note , Tobacco and Smoking Products were down 2% in the last 6 mos. period. Using these products may allow you to boost your SWR, no matter whose SWR method you use! :P
