Inflation is *already* factored in from *all* sources, and corrected, when someone says "CPI adjusted."

And where in the CPI is there a category for foreign travel?

Where's your proof?

There is no such category, for the simple reason that foreign travel isn't an item that affects the daily lives of American workers to the extent of salaries, taxes, and domestic inflation.

Might as well factor in the cost appreciation of Ferrari's and yachts as add in your trip to France to our CPI figures!

Just teasing.
