Gloomy despite falling inflation...Let’s say that your grocery bill went up due to inflation and now your basket is $200 instead of $100. Are you happy that the $200 price increases are slowing down? NO, you’re gloomy remembering the $100 basket under Trump.

The public doesn’t look at inflation like economists and professional investors do. The public reads “falling inflation” and sees prices still rising, which they are, just not as fast. Every price increase is another needle in the eye, the fact prices are rising slower is irrelevant. They don’t understand how the underlying govt debt works against every attempt to lower inflation.

“Inflation has reached its lowest point in 2 1/2 years.”
That is misleading and deceptive. The fact is that prices are DOUBLE what they were a few short years ago. The fact is incompetent government goosed the money supply by $5 trillion when they paid people to stay home because of COVID. That was a HUGE DECREASE in labor productivity which triggered the massive inflation.
And the fact remains that prices are not GOING DOWN, they are just going up a bit more slowly. Inflation ratchets them upward and they will continue their march upward. If prices were to go down (”deflation”), people react very badly like “I’ve got to sell my house RIGHT NOW before prices go down even more.”
People on fixed incomes are really screwed. All those whose raises lag a couple of years behind inflation are really screwed. Everybody has less purchasing power than they did before the government launched its horrendously bad and misguided COVID programs.
It is VERY deceptive to pitch slightly lower inflation as an economic plus. But that’s par for the course for Democrats trying to re-elect the biggest lower in more than a century.
