Year-to-Year August 2021 ShadowStats Alternate CPI Annual Inflation (1980 Base) declined to 13.2% from 13.4% in June and July, which then also matched the prior 13.4% peak in July 2008, otherwise against a 13.4% peak in June 1980. That earlier reading predates the ShadowStats series, when the headline CPI still was reported on a reasonably consistent basis. The current monthly annual rates are up from 13.0% in May 2021, 12.1% in April, 10.4% in March 2021, 9.4% in February 2021 and against 9.1% in January 2021. The ShadowStats Alternate CPI-U estimate restates current headline inflation so as to reverse the governments inflation-reducing gimmicks of the last four decades, which were designed specifically to reduce/ understate annual Cost of Living Adjustments. Related graphs and methodology are available to all on the updated ALTERNATE DATA tab above. Subscriber-only data downloads and an Inflation Calculator also are available there.
