Why won't US admit inflation is rising

Doing so would

1. require that the government pay a larger cost of living increase on all entitlements.

2. cause prospective bond holders to demand a greater rate of return which would increase the cost of servicing the national debt as well as increasing borrowing costs for everyone else which would depress the economy and stock market.

3. reveal that the economy is already in a recession in inflation adjusted terms.

Is that enough? Are there more reasons?
