Hm, well in economics class when we calculate inflation it is for the same exact goods. I guess they "cheat" in the real world. Inflation should be a measurement of how the devaluation of money(caused by its arbritrary production) affects prices of products. 

I wholeheartedly agree. The inflation number we get can more or less be manipulated however they want considering it isn't just a "basket of goods".
