   consumer, calculated and published by the United States
   Bureau of Labor Statistics; abbreviated {CPI}, and usually
   referred to by that acronym. The Bureau maintains several
   indices for different groups of consumers, but the most
   commonly referred to is the index for "All urban consumers",
   called the {CPI-U}. The increase of this value each year is
   one measure of monetary inflation.
