"The price of goods fell 0.2% in May led by a drop in the wholesale cost of energy."
That should be expected for this time of year.

Don’t know about wholesale, but my view is that NOTHING is getting cheaper at the retail level.
At least nothing that I buy.
Motor oil that was $1.50/qt a couple yrs ago is $3 bucks or more now.
2 dollar milk (now 3.50) doesn’t seem that long ago.
24 can Coke was $4 bucks at WM 2 yrs ago, now $7.

or govt subsidies were poured on them to drop prices
when they print the money, or just invent it online, it’s really not a problem

How can this be? What about all the hyperinflation from money printing all the FR economists have forecasted? I’m just confused as to how everyone here missed it...unexpectedly.
To: BenLurkin
Unexpectedly?
ROFL! The MSM obviously has no idea how stupid they make themselves look when they continue to call logical outcomes as "unexpected."
