Today, Marty sat down with Ed Butowsky to discuss the real inflation numbers the Fed is hiding from Americans. They cover the cost-of-living increases that the CPI falsely shows by analyzing the Chapwood index. This ranges from higher food prices to higher energy costs. True Inflation data is much higher than most think, affecting all economic data, including real GDP growth.
