I do think there has been higher than posted inflation since 2000. It's been hidden by getting lots of cheap goods from Asia. Rent, tuition, labour, food, etc... have all been increasing at far more than 2% per year. Meanwhile goods like electronics, clothes, etc... have not been increasing as quickly in price, as they were outsourced and the internet allowed their acquisition at cheaper prices.
