Inflation is close to normal prices are ok but they will go up??? They really really thing we are stupid

[Yogafist]

30-40% of the country is that stupid. Just look at Biden’s polling numbers.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Inflation coming down (slowing how fast it is still RISING) is NOT the same thing as prices returning to what they were.

The Biden administration just doesn’t understand this at all, and completely misses why people are angry.

But it’s fine, their stupidity in regards to this will help bring back Trump :)

Funny. Gas prices in my area just jumped 20 cents a gallon in the past week. And this is in the historically low-price time of year, before summer travel begins.

[HamiltonJay]

Please these people are laughable.

Every time I buy ANYTHING the price is significantly higher than the last time I bought it, and I’m not talking durable goods here.

I mean ANYTHING.

[Jolla]

“if you don’t include food and gas”

What the heck, no one ever uses those items anyway.

[Sacajaweau]

The problem is that they never went down...

Stop the Green crap...and things might return to some kind of normal.

[Ancesthntr]

Gasoline has gone from roughly $2.60 to nearly 3 dollars in the last month. Eggs are about to explode in price again, because Biden‘s regulators forced a large calling of egg laying hens. The price of various berries is close to eight dollars per medium sized container, the highest I have ever seen it. The continued actions of the Hootie, which we are utterly failing to stop, is going to increase the price for virtually everything in the economy. So prices are already moving up rapidly, and will continue to do so for quite some time. So, as is usual, the me fact, that some official in the Biden ministration is moving his or her lips indicates that they are lying… and incompetent.

Here are the numbers on two very different inflation rates, during two different Presidencies.

The 45th President

2017 2.1
2018 2.4
2019 1.8
2020 1.2

Potato Head

2021 4.7
2022 8.0
2023 4.1

I know what numbers I’d rather have, if I was running for President in 2024.

[Brian Griffin]

I’ve been seeing quite a few surges lately.

Biden-grade inflation is back.

[PittsburghAfterDark]

I just want to say that my Food Lion is selling 12 packs of Coca Cola for $9.99.

In 2021 it was $5.79.

This is my most noticed personal gauge of inflation since I survive on Cherry Coke Zero instead of coffee. That price is never going backwards.

12 Starbucks is pushing $70 so outrage is relative.

[Bon of Babble]

2.4% in this measure, 2.8% if you don’t include food and gas

This is on top of the ≈ 30% increase in everything since Biden took office.

We opened a package of Girl Scout cookies yesterday and noticed the cookies are smaller and the rows contain fewer cookies than past years.

Bought one week apart.

Bottom is pre-COVID, top is last week.

It's just FJB permanent economic climate change. Nothing to worry about.

Grade “A” Bullshit

Baghdad Bob did it better.

"Moving in the right direction"? Really? That's an odd statement considered next to this headline: Worst Monthly Spike of “Core Services” PCE Inflation in 22 Years (Will This Lead The Fed To Hike Rates?)

Guess the FED is lying. Must be. The white hut never lies. Do they?

Inflation was 19% and higher on some things.
‘Lunch Bucket’ Bidet&Co is full of BS.

[mware]

I just paid $6.75 for a 4-pk of Valetta Mac and Cheese. Once one of the cheapest eats in the supermarket.

[MrRelevant]

Things wouldve been better now if they simply did nothing over the last 3 years.

[nopardons]

BTTT

[Cen-Tejas]

Federal agencies these days lie so much and so often (with impunity) that there needs to be legislation that will criminalize lying by individuals and department heads (to the press, or selective leaking) with severe/immediate penalties for violators.

An impromptu firing squad or tree limb/rope would be ok with me.
