No one cares about the Fed's muh "consumer prices". No one cares how much the price of furniture or museum tickets or televisions or cigarettes is changing (which together count for over 1/3 of the index, btw)

Now do rent. Or real estate. Or education. Or food.

The Consumer Price Index is published by the BLS, not the Fed(eral Reserve). CPI includes rent (and owner's imputed rent for real estate), education, and food.
