Economic expansion is not inflationary. Productivity always makes up the difference.

Labor productivity growth can only be an offset to inflation.

Productivity increased last quarter at 1.4%.

The CPI numbers already reflect price improvements attributable to that improved productivity. And it ran at 3.4% for the twelve months ending July.
