Current inflation is 4.5%, not 1.5% according to CPI. Surely you think we should include other items besides food and shelter?

Good point.
Like how about taxes and add-on fees imposed by by a multitude of various jurisdictions?

Current inflation is 4.5%, not 1.5% according to CPI. Surely you think we should include other items besides food and shelter? Most definitely. I was not the one that asserted that inflation is currently 1.5%, that was cake_crumb. The CPI numbers have been cooked since the early 1990s. That is how energy prices have gone through the roof the last few years but CPI has barely budged.
