Anyone who buys groceries and gas knows that we have inflation. Why are the “must have” items not included in the assessment?

Yes - real life tells us that there is
inflation. Paying for gas is killing me. As for the mixed nuts, I suppose I could switch to eating some Soylent Green on Soylent Green day.

Exactly.
Anyone who shops knows prices are increasing much more than 1.7%. I know I’m paying about 50% more for groceries since 2008.

"Why are the “must have” items not included in the assessment?" Because there are mandatory increases built into programs like Social InSecurity and such when inflation increases so naturally the Gub'ment tries to hide any increase so they can instead spend money on pork (buying votes)...
