They’ve been talking about 9% inflation. I went to buy my usual package of low-end sausage for red beans and rice. Used to be $2.99, it’s now $4.29, a 43% increase. Wife said to pick up a pack of frozen burger patties. Those used to be $9/pack, now $12, a 33% increase. Right now 9% inflation actually looks pretty good.
Inflation isn’t a problem for the elites but it is a serious challenge for average folks.
The 9% number is a fabricated smoke screen.

Hey, they just got their numbers a little bit mixed up. Brandon’s approval rating is 9% and inflation is at 33%, /s
It’s so deceitful that they exclude many of the items from the CPI which comprise a huge part of most people’s budgets, like FUEL!
You’re right. Real inflation is around 35% or higher. I’ve seen it in my expenses for sure.
True. The administration’s “published” or “we will (reluctantly) admit inflation is this much” value OMITS the “always volatile “ prices of food, fuel, and housing.
