- Summary:
- Discusses the final report of the special advisory commission set up by the Senate Finance Committee that found that the official consumer price index (CPI) overstates the rate of increase in what might be termed the "true" cost of living by 1.1 percentage points per year. Examines biases of CPI and recommendations of the special advisory commission.
