This article skims the surface of a complex issue:
1. The time frames of the various graphs are all different. For example, how has home ownership gone before and after 1983 not 2008.
2. If the CPI methodology has changed for the "worse", how has CPI compared to other inflation measures such as PPI or GDP deflator? I don't recall a smoking gun showing dramatic differences over the long term.
3. Household income is a bit of a problem because households have been shrinking over the longer term.
