The rate varies; the definition does not. Please see attached and note that the definition of inflationg specifically excludes food and fuel

CPI, in my link, post #64, specifically includes food and fuel.

There is "core" CPI and "headline" CPI. You can't point at "core," and claim that "headline" does not exist.

Think of it this way: The government counts trees, and counts trees and shrubs.

You can't point at the tree count alone and claim that shrubs are not counted.

It's not CPI and then you link to an article discussing CPI?

That's funny.
