The government saying that things are fine while a majority of Americans lost 25% of their purchasing power (per your numbers) is pure gaslighting.

I think it’s obvious why Americans are upset about that change — and the government lying to them about the problem.

Who said things are fine? They gave accurate inflation figures.

That's like saying "the government is lying when they say the fire is out, because I saw that the building is still burned and hasn't been repaired."
