Newsweek’s Daniel Gross explains the Consumer Price Index (here’s the official BLS site) in a very simple video. I could do without the goofy sound effects, but it’s a good, 2 minute explanation of how the government tracks inflation.

Long live sportsmanship. The ball went ten feet over your head, and you claim it was on the other side of the big yellow pole.
