Fuel and food are counted in the inflation calculations.

Really? The "Consumer Price Index" (Aka: Rate of inflation) used to calculate the annual Social Security "Cost Of Living" increase does not include food or fuel unless things have changed radically recently.

Calculating inflation must be like calculating unemployment, it's all about what you leave in and what you leave out! Figures don't lie, but liars sure can figure...
