Obviously disagree

It is is represented as a measurement of the cost of living. Which completely falls apart when it excludes large percentages of unavoidable consumer costs

But how are you to effectively distill that to a single number when sales tax rates vary wildly on a state, county and municipal level.


The tax rate doesn’t change as prices move, so it’s really not very useful to include them in a measurement that is largely focused on MoM and YoY deltas.
