U.S. GDP Grows Just 1.3%

Are you reading the same data I'm reading? CPI was at 3.6% for both May and June 2011. It was much higher just 3 years ago at the peak of the financial crisis, according to that data. If you go further back, 2005 had some months where CPI hovered around 4%, and there were some moderately high inflation rates during the recession of 2001. With all due respect, am I missing something here and just reading the chart wrong?

He believes he is making a point because a few particular months in 2011 and assuming them to hold constant (or greater) for the remainder of the year.
 
I'm still holding out hope that you might come up with something clever to say.
