Good old Todd defender or the big obama/sharia backing banks and now our government to the rescue.

Everyone except you seems to know when the inflation index is reported on publicly they do not include food and energy in the inflation index if they did they would have to give Social Security Cola increases.

Not defending anybody. Just pointing out your false belief that the government does not include food and energy in inflation calculations. It's a common error, so you shouldn't feel too bad.

You are mistaken. They commonly release two numbers each month. CPI, which includes everything and "Core CPI" which excludes food and energy.
