I like anyone else can but use the figures released by the various organisations to make my investment decisions??
Mind you on the subject of "rubbery" figures much the same could and should obviously be said of China's figures??
I'm not convinced that we'll see the levels of inflation we witnessed in the late 70's & early 80's, if we didn't see high inflation during the inflating of the US housing bubble I don't know when we will.
