Pay no attention to the man behind the curtains

I like how the Government conveniently omits certain items.
I never could understand that one

I was sitting here scratching my head this morning when Rick S, was telling the masses how inflation is in check and no inflation on the horizon.
Hey Rick, what do you call it when my kid's school touition continues to go up almost 10% every year?
Or how her dresses for her dance recitials are more expensive3 every year.
Or why I am paying 15% more for auto insurance this year- never mind the fact I haven't had a cliam in the five years I have been with the company.

Or why it costs more to fill my gas tank.
Or why the wife needs more money for the same amount of groceries
And the list goes on......

And don't forget about the rise in my local and state taxes.
Or the rise in my school and property taxes cuz the county decided to reassess my house cuz of the housing bubble.
