The American's Creed

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Monthly CPI Data Going Back to 1926

By JLP | September 5, 2012

Here are the monthly CPI changes I have going back to 1926. I’m not exactly sure where I got these numbers. I think it was the BLS.gov website but I’m not sure. It’s been a couple of years since I first collected these numbers and then I updated them with the CPI data from BLS.

Here they are. Just click on the graphic to download the PDF. Enjoy!
