CPI (Consumer Price Index) is generally more favoured than the RPI (Retail Price Index) because the RPI excludes pensioner households and the highest income households, so it's misleading in this sense. Back to CPI, which measures inflation, the only real problem is that it samples 650 goods from 7,000 households nationwide. Because this is such a small percentage of the whole population, it's not representative - it just gives an indication of measure of the general level of prices. But on the whole it is more effective that than the RPI.

Compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the CPI measures the rate of inflation from month to month. It reports the price of a "market basket," a collection of around 300 goods that a typical consumer buys regularly. It then measures the increase or decrease of that price from the price in a given year. If the CPI for 2010 were 180, then prices have risen about 80% from the base year. Core CPI does not take into account oil and food prices, which are more volatile. As a result, many economists prefer to use Core CPI when measuring long-term inflation.

George Creel sought to distance the work of the Committee on Public Information (CPI) from propaganda by emphasizing that the CPI's efforts were not based on deceit or manipulation, but rather on providing factual information to the public. Creel believed that the CPI's role was to educate and inform Americans about the war effort, rather than to sway public opinion through misleading tactics. By framing the CPI's work as informational rather than propagandistic, Creel aimed to maintain credibility and trust with the American people.
