Groceries and gasoline are not part of the inflation computations

So inflation IS out of control. We are being misled. Yeah I get it. That gook made toaster oven is dirt cheap but the food you stuff in it goes up almost 10% / year. Globalists are so FOS. Free Traitors™ get ready for that guillotine!

It is my understanding that food and gasoline are excluded from inflation calculations because of inherent volitility. I’m not an economist so will not argue the point.

It is my understanding that the US$ has been strengthening. I think that a strong US$ is a contray indicator to inflation and thus would argue that inflation is in fact, not out of control...... yet.
