Might wanna check up on current events, 8% inflation was 12 months ago. It’s just a tad lower now. 
 

But we liked Biden's 8% better.

For some reason they do not include groceries,  gas or energy in the inflation calculation. For a family I would think that would be 30% or more.

There are a whole lot of measures of inflation (CPI, PCE, PPI, etc) and almost all of them have headline numbers and core numbers. Core does not includ energy or food because they are both seasonal and volatile.

It would be nice even if it was seasonal and volatile it would nice to maybe show both. The one we always see. Then the realistic one with food and energy. How hard would it be to do with all the technology available today.

That is what the headline number is. And that is what is typically reported.
