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.
Per David Simon’s Berkeley talk, though, the video doesn’t go into why this matters. Perhaps they’ll cover that in the next installment of the Economics 101 series.

The Cheesy Gordita Crunch is the world’s perfect food. It is unfair for you to offer such temptation to a hugely pregnant woman who is so unable to resist that she had a dream about eating one last night. Please cease and desist all advertising of this deliciously evil concoction.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Hugely Pregnant Woman
PS - Your so-called Fire Sauce does not live up to its name. Can you fix that too please?
