True inflation is easily measured by the loss of value of the currency compared to hard assets, like gold. And that has risen at much more than 3%.

Every penny of the $5 Trillion "stimulus" is inflationary pressure.


If that's the case, then the article makes even less sense, since gold prices have dropped over $300 per ounce since September 2011.
A three hundred dollars drop isn't what a $300.00 drop would have been when gold was five or six hundred dollars per ounce. In modern (post QE) pricing, it represents a mere sixteen percent dip, which is well within the norm for metals over the years.
