Food prices don’t count as inflation. They’re considered too volatile, and aren’t part of the calcs.

Energy does not count either.

LOL. Yes, inflation stats were first manipulated by LBJ to improve the GDP numbers. They were again “massaged” during the Clinton Administration, and again I believe by Bush.
