Eased my butt. What gaslighting.

We’re saved!

Well you knew they weren’t going to show a big increase with the banking crisis in play.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Prices rising is what the Brandon administration calls “inflation easying”? Somebody smokin’ too much happy smoke. FJB.

IOW, prices are high and will remain high. The new norm. Nothing to see here or be concerned about. /sarc

And yet, after all the misery they've caused over the last two years, roughly half the people still prefer Democrats in power.

[ScottinVA]

The “rate” of inflation may be slacking up, but prices are still going up.

[ConservativeInPA]

An increase is a decrease. A man can get pregnant. Okay, I’m starting to understand.

[CatOwner]

Doesn’t pass the eyeball test.

[srmanuel]

When you consider those numbers don’t include food and energy prices two things people have to buy to live making the CPI basically a worthless statistic, throw in housing prices and have triple crown of what is crushing Americans

[Robert DeLong]

No, it most likely did ease, but what they fail to tell you is that it eased only because people do not have the money to spend, meaning demand is crashing. It is still bad news.

But yes, they are spinning it as good news. However, you need not worry because people may not see the reality of why, but the still feel the reality as evidenced by their buying habits. We can't create money, as the government can. We can only create more debt, and then only if we have access to credit. But even then as the credit load increases, even those people have to alter their purchasing habits. Unless of course they are foolish, or they have very large income amounts to play with.

Just understand that they are trying to fool people, but they really can't because the people feel no improvement. Just the pain of their own reality.

Currently the average cost of a men's haircut in the United States is $28.

I'm embracing my new 'hippy look'...

[logi_cal869]

The longer they keep adhering to these defective stats, the longer and more painful it will be.

By design.

The worst will come under the next POTUS, whom they intended to be someone other than a dem by picking legs-up.

[NewJerseyJoe]

>> Without food and energy prices

Well that's good. Because nobody I know uses food or energy. 😠

[wildbill]

They removed the items that most affect consumers (food and energy) and which are most volatile and then they claim that inflation eased.

And most of the media go along with the fantasy figures, believing that the boobs in the population will believe them instead of their own eyes and pocketbooks.

[cowboyusa]

6 percent equals 12 percent.

[CFW]

No one mentions that it is cumulative! Prices of everything keep going up and the Feds target at 2% will never happen given the Biden administration’s policies.

[Organic Panic]

LIARS.
