This almost 6-point decrease is pretty significant. You can argue the math all you want, but I know I for one would prefer a 3% inflation rate than a 9% inflation rate. Zero would be best but - that isn't on the list of options at the moment.

Don’t feel bad. Even the “expert” financial reporter on NBC nightly news said last night that costs have gone down. Most of the audience they aim at just accept it. You are correct in that there is almost always a certain level of inflation each year. Otherwise we would still be paying 12 cents for a loaf of bread.
