But I'm not getting a dollar more, I'm just getting charged a dollar extra. Wages will never actually keep up with inflation, they certainly haven't thus far. In part because government inflation statistics are not trustworthy

Government inflation statistics do report that wages have inflated more slowly than a consumption basket since the 70s, on average.

If you want to talk about consumer price inflation as distinct from wage inflation, do so, but be specific.
