This clown hasn’t been to the grocery store or gas station lately. Pay more, get less. Look at the unit volume you get for what you pay for. Everything costs more now per pound/ounce/gallon. The one thing that should be tracked for inflation (ie: food, staples, fuel) is not included in the inflation index. You can’t eat durable goods, so why do they use those as an index for inflation? Because they need to hide the fact that OUR dollars can buy only so much food, at the expense of buying cheap junk from china, which you cannot eat without dying.
Both "core" (excluding fuel and food) and total CPI figures are published every month. Now which one the press chooses to report depends on their ideology, but the BLS isn't hiding food and fuel.
Now whether their CPI calculations reflect reality is certainly open to to doubt and discussion.
You should really read the article first.
