Yeah, but if you exclude food and energy, prices were up 0.2%.

Either way it is Bush's fault.

So that stat is meaningful to everyone who doesn't buy food or energy. :)

You only include food and energy if it tends to make it look worse for the President.

Not a single TV station in SF/SJ reported it correctly today. "Biggest CPI drop in 40 years!" But they have never failed to exclude a rise in "volatile food and energy prices" when it helps to lower a raw CPI rise.

Silly! Don't you know that those things are only excluded when they are going up but when they are going down they are included? Otherwise the peasants might not get a warm fuzzy.
