US government lies about inflation

We have inflation in India, China, Norway, Australia, everywhere but the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

I'm telling you they're lying. Go to a restaurant in New York, or a grocery store, and tell me that there's no inflation. Look here: In 2001, it cost $9 to go to the top of the Empire State Building. Now it's $44 to go to the top. The Museum of Modern Art in 2001 was $10, now it's $25. A cab from Kennedy airport to Manhattan in 2001 was $30 plus tolls. Now it starts at $52.
