I-Bonds and TIPs are two types of bonds that are adjusted based on the inflation rate by law and backed by the US government, and they both pay slightly more than the inflation rate because of their other various features.

There, that's two examples.

Correct, TIPs will keep pace with inflation. Until you pay income taxes on the interest they earned. Then it's not even close. Also, you're putting a lot of trust in the governments calculation of CPI. What makes today's calculation better than the calculation used in the 80s?
