"Overall consumer price gains cooled last month, though underlying measures continued to show sticky inflation pressure, according to government data released on Wednesday.
Why it matters: The consumer price index rose 0.1% in March, a much slower pace than the 0.4% gain in the prior month. But the inflation gauge that strips out volatile food and energy costs continued to rise at a quick pace."
“More moderate” = disturbing.
When food and gas prices increase more than everything else (like they have the past 24 months) they would cite the “core CPI” number which does not include food and energy. But here is a month where food and gas inflation were less than everything else and of course they lead with the overall CPI number instead of being consistent.
Inflation is still RISING, that’s the news.
Liars, all. Prices are STILL going UP, just more slowly than before! Nothing that I regularly buy is stabilizing in the least.
I take that back. Eggs were $1.99 at Kwik Trip last week. But that’s ONLY because we’re building a coop and getting laying hens again.
Once we’ve invested in all that, rest assured that egg prices will be back to 99-cents a dozen. You heard it here, first! *SMIRK*

I’m waiting for them to start saying things like “more, more moderate” and “less, more moderate”.
If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullsh*t.

“Doubleplus moderate” would be more like it.
The propaganda the plebes are to believe here is; “SEE? It’s not so bad. Stop complaining”
Liars!
That's basically what they did leading up to the midterms, people were convinced the worst was over.
