<<Now, I know that if you exclude energy, CPI inflation looks as though it "is safely locked away." And if you exclude oil and tobacco, PPI inflation, like Franco, still is dead. But if energy and tobacco prices are of no consequence to the inflation picture, why include them in the first place? If we are going to pick and choose what we want to leave in a general price index, maybe I want to exclude the shelter component from the CPI. It represents about 30% of the total CPI. Growth in the shelter component of the CPI has been more than 100 basis points lower this year compared to last year. Perhaps there is a good economic reason for this. Or perhaps its slower growth this year has something to do with the change in the methodology of its calculation. >> ntrs.com
