Heading into the November presidential election, one of the biggest issues on voters' minds is the economy. According to a new poll, 73% of Americans say strengthening it is their top concern.
I didn’t actually know that, thank you. Yeah, I know there is some commonly cited “inflation” number that excludes some volatile categories but over the last couple years that actually doesn’t change the bottom line - but yeah, it makes sense that CPI would include all the common consumer good regardless of volatility.
Honestly I have to admit I’ve become a little bit jaded with hundreds of times looking some particular claim up and learning about things and finding that someone who was swearing some particular thing, was lying; and I’ve gotten lazy about it as a result
It’s almost as if all the “Biden ruined the economy” trolls are consistently not being 100% truthful and straightforward about things
Anyway, CPI includes both food and fuel.

“Core inflation”, as the name suggests, excludes some things that are encompassed by CPI. But I think it’s cited much less often than CPI.
