Inflation rate does not count food or fuel. I say BS! Self Serving Bastards should be hung.

We keep being told that the inflation rate doesn't include food or fuel and we're expected to be good little children, go back to our corner and quit noticing the cost of stuff!

Romney - if you would talk to the average housewife, trying to feed her family, you would get a lot further than you do trying to defend your position on contraception. (Contraception isn't even an issue, except to the "Distractor in Chief"!)

Rather ironic that the Fed uses core inflation to measure the effectiveness of it's monetary policy.
