Please point out the points that are factually incorrect in either of the linked pieces. What do you base your assumption on that input prices to business have not increased on par with output prices? When output and input prices rise together, profit and production are maintained?

You're asking why we should care about how the inflation and GDP numbers are calculated. Here is an excellent piece by Chris Martenson: Fuzzy Numbers In short, how can one make proper decisions on investing, saving or anything else for that matter, if your assumptions are based on false...

Here is an excellent essay by Michael Rozeff which shows exactly why using the CPI in any form is problematic: Inflation Is Worse Than You Thought

Here ya go FinanceDude: John Williams' ShadowStats.com In short, the current CPI is a wholly manipulated government number, removing from the current basket of measurements anything that doesn't reflect the required narrative so as to keep masses with wealth to protect happy with a 3-4%...

We have an economy on the verge of hyper-inflation through currency debasement, and Roth encourages people to hand over a larger portion of the earnings NOW vs later when the buying power will be significantly eroded. We have a government that will invent new taxes, increase existing taxes...
