I have a question regarding inflation. I recently read that when inflation is being calculated that neither ENERGY or FOOD are included. I am completely taken aback. Would someone please explain how these two things ( that every human being needs to survive) could possibly be left out of the equation?? Please no political remarks and ranks, just looking for knowledge.
Thanks......
