no inflation is bogus as the cost of living indexDec 31, 2013

i was talking t some guys today about the small increase in social security checks and the 2 years we received no increase.
I didnt know but the cost of living index that the govt uses does not include fuel, medical costs, cost of housing. It only pertains to the price of milk and food. I was wondering how they came up with no inflation when the gas tripled in price, and medical bills were skyrocketing. The rents were also going up in NYC and the metro area.
