Jazzbumpa,
That's the CPI's value as of September 2012 (to convert the result to September 2012 dollars).
Divide the measure in your first graph by real per capita gdp ( also in 2012 dollars ) and you'll see a beautiful example of "regime change".

All exponential trends eventually fail.
The failure isn't pleasant and will more than likely never unfail.
That might eventually be good news of course. Unfortunately, those planning on a booming economy thanks to ever increasing levels of debt might want to rethink their mid-term plans.
