Thanks Rich for the explanation, it make sense now.
As for why we are "replaying" the inflation data, that is what the client 
wants to do! It is a law firm, and I don't have any insight into their 
thinking. (They want to provide a variety of financial calculators.)Just 
one of those things where you say, "If that's what you want, well, you're 
the customer!"
