Seriously, all you have to do is exclude the bad numbers and voila, you’ve got the number you want.

Wholesale prices rose more than expected last month as food prices surged by the most in 26 years. But excluding food and energy, prices were nearly flat.

Again and again, this is the problem with government statistics today. They are rigged. Of course there is no inflation when you remove all the bad parts. I’d like to know from the eggheads, since I need food to eat and energy to live in my house, why we get to exclude it?

It’s nothing more than a way to rig the game.
