That’s a fair point. Basically we’re damned if we do (raise rates) and damned if we don’t.
By the way, does anyone know when we last had an actual federal budget? Aren’t all these CR’s that keep raising the debt ceiling unconstitutional? Seems like it.
It misses nothing. ANd if you look closely, it puts the claim that “inflation has been trending down” in perspective (ie, reality).
After years of parabolic price increases a few months of merely average ones are effectively meaningless to anyone who has to buy stuff.
2021 - 4%
2022 - 10%
2023 - 6%
2024 - 2.3 so far
You reason in synch with the beaurocrats who push the press releases — decreasing increases is good news!
Most of us are still gonna pay upwards of 50 grand for new pickup truck — 400% the cost of my first one.
Most of us are gonny pay upwards of a half a million dollars for a starter home on a postage stamp lot in some subdivision — 55 times what my parents paid for the one I was born in.
Enjoy your stats, bro!
That too.
