They have graphs showing CPIs to the 1990 and 1980 methods here

CPI is Price Inflation, but of course there is also monetary inflation - or 'classical' inflation. Don't know if shadowstats tracks that.

In addition to standard monetary inflation there is also the impact of private issuance of credit.

The common use of credit cards means that a lot of “new money” can make it into the system if people choose to run up their personal debt.

Standard bank loans (or loans by any other entity for that matter) can increase the “money supply” as well.

If people pay down their credit cards or personal debt that reduces the “money supply”.
