The "Rich Dad Poor Dad" author stated in a recent Instagram video that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is not neutral economic data but rather "covertly printed inflation," which policymakers measure after prices have already climbed. Kiyosaki argues that the CPI report merely documents the damage after it's done, calling it "a receipt for a robbery you didn't know happened." He has previously advocated for investing in hard assets like gold and income-producing real estate to hedge against inflation.
