Real inflation is 5-7 %. The fed has been hinging it.
The Fed wouldn't do something underhanded like removing food and fuel prices from their index......would they?
Imagine that... the Fed cooking the books.
It's not like food & fuel are everyday items, wait,what?
They are just luxury items - just like the sages continually preach, "If you think the price is too high, don't buy".
