    The real inflation rate is closer to the average increase in the the stock indexes, which is 12% last I checked. 12 minus something, I would hazard 12 minus the 2-3 of stated inflation is closer to real inflation. But as of 2008 the old unchanged formula averaged 5-8 percent inflation. Higher now obviously.
