Shoppers paid sharply higher prices for a variety of goods in June as inflation kept its hold on a slowing U.S. economy, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday.
The consumer price index, a broad measure of everyday goods and services, soared 9.1% from a year ago, above the 8.8% Dow Jones estimate. That marked another month of the fastest pace for inflation going back to December 1981.

Inflation rose 9.1% in June, even more than expected, as price pressures intensify
BUMP
WHO was in the Oval Office in Dec 1981????
OBAMA-—same person holding Biden’s puppet strings.
Cue my surprised face. 😲
“WHO was in the Oval Office in Dec 1981????
OBAMA-—same person holding Biden’s puppet strings.”
Reagan was in office in 1981.
Decades worth of personal net worth being decimated by the rise in inflation, the devaluing of the dollar, and the crippling of fixed income investments to counter it. FJB.
100% Biden and Pelosi.
WTF? LOL. Are you living in a state that just legalized marijuana?
It’s a little early here to start drinking, “unexpected”.
“the fastest pace for inflation going back to December 1981”
It’s worse. It’s historically bad. By today’s calculations, Carter’s numbers don’t pop as much. By the calculations of 1981, today’s numbers are... really really bad.
It’s like I dont care about nothing man...
Roll another blunt...
Ooohh
La da da da la da da la la da da
Lame duck Carter.
Reagan had been sworn in yet?
Lame duck Carter.
Reagan had NOT been sworn in yet?
we have already successfully destroyed Biden on this, now it’s time to start blaming commie liberal democrats in general and not just Biden for destroying the economy.
“Unexpected” 🍻
Obama was in office in 1981- in some shanty town in Kenya
And this is even with them pushing gas prices down for the 4th of July weekend. When did gas prices ever go down previously for the 4th of July weekend?
It’s why Reagan was elected. Carter sucked at pretty much everything just like Biden.
That being said, Biden isn't worthy to shine Carter's shoes.
Correct. Assigning blame is going to be important. Otherwise, we will just do all of this again. Again. There are going to have to be consequences. We don’t have to have helicopter rides (no matter how deserved), but we should at least be able to shame and shun these people.
The Left is trying hard to make this about Biden. All he has done is faithfully implement all of their schemes.
