CPI is only one measure of inflation. For example, substituting housing price index for owner equivalent rent raises the CPI a lot recently.

Look at asset prices, they are going up very fast (historically). Or healthcare or higher education, they have been growing faster than CPI for decades with fiat money. You have to look at who has the newly created currency, and where they spend to see the inflation (gov't, high wealth, and upper middle).
