Skyrocketing inflation?

It is 6.5% now - while during Carter's time it nearly hit 15%

If inflation was measured the same way they did in the 70’s inflation would be at 12-15% across the board. Stay out of it Eurotrash.

I’m saying it’s over 17% now.
Forget the charts etc.

If they hadn’t changed the methodology for calculating inflation, it would be north of 10% now. Just wait until WWIII is in full swing.

“They” say it is 6.5%.

Gasoline is now well over $3.00; up from $2.00. That is not 6.5 percent; that is 50%.

The inflation figures reported have been deliberately manipulated to protect politicians that have voted to impose the inflation tax.

Inflation is calculated differently now. According to some observers it is comparable now and then.
