If it’s not higher than 2% it will be. You can’t add this much money to the economy without some inflation.
If QE is unwound, shouldnt inflation go down?
FOR 8 YEARS THEY DID NOT REPORT ON INFLATION UNDER ODUMBASS.
BUT I KNOW MY GROCERY BILL MORE THAN DOUBLED.
Nonsense. Gas still hovering at $1.70 - $2.50 gal, home prices are rising very slightly, after being down forever, wages show small increase.
SOME food items that have had regional issues are high-—vanilla, chocolate, avocados. But flour, eggs, milk, no real significant change.
Commodities still low.
If you have to educate a child, pay for car insurance, buy health insurance then inflation is sky high through the roof. If you are only buying groceries, drive a beater and have no kids then inflation is in check.
One of the first things that that stupid bastard Obama did was to start mucking up the real numbers to prevent people from seeing how much of a stupid sh*thead he was.
Its been way off for decades... anyone who tells you they believe the offical 1-2% numbers per year they have been hocking for decades now is an idiot.
The government collects tens of thousands of prices, does this guy collect more?
Does he weigh them differently than the government?
Does he count beef more than the government? Does he count chicken less?
What's his secret?
I think the Fed is trying it’s best to destroy the Trump Economic miracle by raising interest rates. But it’s not working! I got 1 2% interest loan on my 2017 and a 0 interest rate on my 2018 auto! Oil has gone from 40+$s to now 64 and gas is still LOW! The market is not reacting to the fed!
Inflation typically follows a super-heated economy to “manage” it.
Does this "Noted Statistics Expert" realize that'a only a whole month
Is this ***hole a democrat? or an "academician"??
Also, what was the inflation rate Nov 2016 -Jan 2017??
Hmmmmm??
I think it’s been increasing for years beyond what they have been saying. Under BO they didn’t breath a word about it, except to say that it didn’t exist. Now, suddenly, it’s inflation.
