OldSchool, are you sure we see no accounting for food and energy? Seem those are two of the most important components for everyone, and need to be tracked. Maybe they have indexes of their own?

Someone needs to get butt in gear and show those numbers to the public.


The rationale for not including food and energy in the CPI is that their prices fluctuate too much. The CPI is intended to measure longer-term trends than that, and the effects of the fluctuating prices of food and energy get reflected in other sectors that are included. I don't know if I agree with that, but there it is.

Wrong, wrong, WRONG!!!! How about putting that computer to work and do some REAL research, rather than watch porn. Bush ran up a little over $5 trillion in eight years, Obama has run up over $7 trillion in just five years, and is estimated to run up another $3 trillion before leaving office. The Treasury has brought in record amounts of tax dollars for 18 months now, and Obungler is still running a $800 billion annual deficit (higher than any single year of the Bush 2 years). Clinton NEVER got the deficit even close to zero, although he did not run up as much as Bush 2 did. Before making yourself sound like a fool, get your facts straight.

Clinton made it appear that he left no debt by raiding the Social Security fund.
Creative bean counting to fool the stupid was all it amounted to.
