| Highest inflation in 40 years. Keep telling us inflation isn't real Democrats. |
|
No one said it wasn't real. the whole industrialized world has inflation right now, it isn't a US or Biden thing. It is because of the recovery from a global slowdown due to COVID.
Inflation s actually worse everywhere else than it is in the US, but you somehow ignore that. |
Absolute made up bullcrap. Currently, the US has one of the WORST rates of inflation in the world. https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/inflation-rate We are now in the ranks with Brazil, Russia, and Mexico. Next time, stop making up facts just because you want to try to save face for your party. |
This is a blatant lie. Do you work for Ron Klain? https://data.oecd.org/price/inflation-cpi.htm |

The PPI was 1.2% in Jan 2021.
The Biden admin cut monthly PPI by a whole percentage point in under a year. That is pretty impressive. CPI will follow as it is a lagging indicator. |

Numbers are cumulative, you know.... We'd be in a really bad place of if the trajectory of the past year continued. But it's still cumulative. We're not out of the fire yet. Nowhere near it. Cost of living is still high and getting higher. And the official inflation figures don't include things like rent and housing prices. I'm just being realistic about it rather than trying to spin it the way some of you do. We still have notable inflation. |

Again, no one said we don't have inflation. But people like you seem to lack the integrity to acknowledge where this country was a year ago as compared to now, and perhaps WHY there is inflation.
Because for people like you, you seem to prefer we still have a contracting economy, millions out of work etc. if that meant lower inflation. |
