BS alert!!!
“Excluding the more-volatile measurements of food and energy, prices rose 4.1% in October from the previous year – the highest since January 1991.”
In other words, inflation is MUCH higher than what’s being reported here: Their “31year high” doesn’t count food and fuel inflation!!!
Am I not really paying $3.30/gallon for gas?
Am I not really paying $5/lb for ground beef??
These crooks eliminated these elements from the Consumer Price Index a decade ago to make it seem like inflation wasn’t so bad.
That was also the same time they played the Jedi Mind Trick in repackaging everything smaller at the stores. Whoppers and Big Macs shrunk. Dinky plastic bags replaced big brown paper bags (Wow, look at all the bags I got!!), but $100 which used to full your shopping cart to overflowing no longer filled it even half way.
