I’m always so grateful that “the volatile food and energy sectors” are excluded. We wouldn’t want the official stats to actually tell us anything accurately /s

Agreed. In my July power bill I was charged 16.5¢/kWh, which is up 25.8% from last July. TWENTY-FIVE POINT EIGHT PERCENT!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

No. Did they actually exclude those sectors?????

Heck. Why did they stop there? Surely they could look at any sector that has an inflation rate over, say, -2% and exclude those as well?

Then they could trumpet even more economic success for the megaphones of truth, such as WSJ, NYT, WAPO, and, of course, The Hill.

And there are people, lots of them, who would believe it.

What an Effing Joke.

Leave it to “The Hill” to rig the game to protect Joe Biden.
