Actually it is higher. How inflation was cacluclated then is different than now. If calculated as it was in 1982, inflation would be 15%.

I remember 1982 very well. Going to the grocery store then was never like it is now. Fortunately, after my COL social security increase minus my Medicare premium increase I got a net 1% increase to deal with inflation this year.

I’m surprised the media isn’t saying “Inflation is at it’s highest rate since 1982 - when Ronald Reagan was President”.
