All the massive inflation took place under Obama. Since they never reported it, I dont know what the rate was- but I know my grocery bill doubled. (at least)

I used to spend an average of $150 grocery shopping- by the end of obama’s terms I was lucky if I spent less than $300

Food is not included in the computation of inflation.

Relevant joke:

An 80-year-old man goes in for his annual physical.

Doctor: So how are you doing, Sam?
Sam: Great! I’m the strongest I’ve ever been in my life.

Doctor (surprised): Really?
Sam: Yep. when I was a kid I could barely carry $5 worth of groceries. Now I can easily carry $50 worth with one hand.

Agreed. There was significant inflation under Obama, concealed by the Deep State bureaucrats who are supposed to be truthful about these statistics.

If they can stuff ballot boxes with phony Rat votes, and have specious charges investigated for two years straight with no findings, what is a little cooking of the CPI index?

The Fed also propped up Obama's second term with a bull market (although a weak and slow recovery accompanied it) brought about by zero interest rates.

Now that they hate the incumbent, it's time for them to tank the economy leaving Trump holding the bag in 2020. Sickening.

We need to secede, or we will just be enslaved by these evil Rats for the rest of our lives.
