I saw one article that said if you exclude food and gas, inflation was "only" 6.3%. However, I don't know why you would exclude two items that are necessary to survive. Maybe you could exclude entertainment or travel - which are more discretionary spending than food and gas.
Wrong. Inflation NEVER includes fuel and food. Look it up for crying out loud.
Shut off what you are listening to.
