Their point was even if you say its only 4% (costs are way higher)

The person is making less than they were the previous year.

The latest report from a day or so ago said 4.2% so I dunno what you are trying to say. They were trying to be brief and just point out that a raise less than inflation is decrease overall

I'm trying to tell you inflation wasn't 4% in the same way youre telling me it is.

You're assuming something I highlighted in my first comment, and I'm doing the same to make a point.

the internet isn't american

Okay, what is it then? You are missing the whole point but feel free to keep going

They only just got their raise, though, so it's the coming year of inflation that one should measure the real rate by. In any case, it will not be a real increase if the rate remains above 3%.
