Map is wrong.

The map is in error: It shows the US with 0% inflation, whereas the cited source gives the US's inflation rate as 3% (I didn't check any other countries). Kdammers (talk) 07:19, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

At a point between 2007 and 2008, the US had not only a 0% inflation, but even a deflation, as can be seen here: http://www.global-rates.com/economic-indicators/inflation/consumer-prices/cpi/united-states.aspx

True, however, Indicated map is supposed to represent 2009 data; However, US inflation for year 2009, was 2.7% Reference: http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/ Inflation rate varies from year to year, so specific date of inflation must be given to be accurate. I didn't see this mentioned anywhere in the article, but, perhaps a listing by # of ticket sales, would be the most overall accurate.

The usinflationcalculator isn't the source for the chart though, the World Factbook is. As you can see from this archive copy from December 2010, the CPI inflation level for the US in 2009 is -0.3% which is entirely consistent with the chart. Regardless of whether the Factbook is correct or not, there is nothing incorrect in regards to how the map is interpreting the source so I'm removing the notice.
