Biden claims zero percent inflation.

The poster immediately before you had a link to NBC news which said exactly that.
Thanks. Gave my buddy task0778 a thumbs up for it. :)

This constant redefining of metrics and terms by the Biden Admin is really getting annoying. They don't fix anything; they just blame others and when that doesn't work, they gaslight. Some terms they have redefined....

Inflation
Recession
Woman
Insurrection
Vaccine
Illegal Alien

It's Orwellian.

There is no redefinition. Biden was specific enough that anyone who has any common sense understood what he was saying.

Monthly inflation and year over year inflation are different metrics. They’re both reported each month. This isn’t new.
 
I kind of wonder if he is playing the crazy old man bit as a get out of jail free card when the shit hits the fan.

Well, if he is then he's doing a helluva job cuz everybody and his brother bought it. But I don't think it's an act, I think that's who he is and has been for quite some time.

The BLS announced that the July inflation rate is 8.5%.


Biden dishonestly spun the narrative in a lame attempt to hoodwink the gullible.

And you are an advocate for such meaningless cherry picking.

Biden was accurate. From the report:

Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was unchanged in July on a seasonally
adjusted basis after rising 1.3 percent in June, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.
Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 8.5 percent before seasonal adjustment.
 
Biden's new tax on stock buybacks is making more money go to production of goods instead of pockets of wealthy.

Biden has finally halted Trump's 500% new money printing inflation spiral.

The White House is a bit confused. The inflation rate isn't at 0%, that's Biden's approval rating.
 
Prices for final demand goods fell 1.8 percent in July!

PPI (Producer Price Index) for final demand fell 0.5 percent in July.

Great Job Joe!

When you're blowing up a balloon, and in one breath make it 10% bigger, while in the next make it 8% bigger, you still have inflation. When prices are rising, there's inflation. Their rising slightly less one month than the previous month does not mean inflation has gone away, which is what Quid Pro hopes his useful idiots (you know who you are) fall for.

Trump is the one who was building foreign oil pipeline here bankrupting 90% of US oil drillers. 2032 Oil Rigs were operating under Obama. Only half that many at their peak under Trump, then he bankrupted nearly all of them, leaving only 230 operating when he was voted out.

Drillers went back to work as soon as Biden won. US Oil Drilling already increased over 325% under Biden.

Trump printed 500% more US Dollars than ever existed causing massive inflation. Biden is doing good to halt that massive inflation pressure with broken supply chains.
 
Joe Biden just claimed that there was "zero percent inflation" in July. I guess that 8.5% inflation rate is a figment of our imagination


Just another Joey daily lie.
Thank God the fuckstick mobster wannabe went on vacation!

You did not back up your numbers with any references.

The reason for that is clear..... You are deliberately deceptive.

You did not compare number of rigs when Obama left office to when Trump left office.

Nor did you compare peak to peak.

Nor did you state that the number of rigs under Biden have not matched Trump's pre-Pandemic performance.

Instead, you compared peak under Obama (your number is inaccurate, BTW), to close to minimum under Trump, which was driven by the pandemic lockdowns forced by Democrats.

Most dishonestly (excuse me - deceptively- as your number's, like Biden's 0% inflation number, are arguably "accurate" ;_)), you included natural gas wells in Obama's number, but did not include them in Trump's.

Get some integrity.

You did the same thing the BIden Admin does - using deliberately-deceptive numbers to propel a false narrative.

Month over month inflation was nearly 0 due to lower oil prices. BFD. After a steady two year rise in prices on other goods, blamed on energy, how soon should we expect the producers to lower the cost of other goods now that their energy costs are going down too? Will they ever lower them?

Right about the same time prices on oil and labor come down....and soon taxes.

With all the legitimate criticisms of Joe available to you, you really chose this one? Isn't the point he was making, inflation did not increase, obvious enough for you?

I realize "Biden is responsible for inflation" has been a central message (one that Repubs have never convincingly shown to be true) coming from Repubs with the midterms just around the corner. But it has peaked. The CPI and PPI are on their way down. So you folks better get ready to stand by the Repub positions on trying to block Medicare drug price negotiations, trying to block action on climate change, trying to block action on a minimum corporate tax rate so companies like Amazon don't pay 0 taxes, trying to block aid for veterans, and suggesting an investigation of a former prez who stole classified documents means the DoJ has been politicized.

Really, though, inflation is one of the most important topics for the majority of Americans currently.

While we can all understand the principle of month-to-month inflation, the issue is with the lame attempt to be deliberately deceptive to the dumb voters and also to provide weak talking points the mainstream media can repeat to change the narrative as usual and reinforce the message.

It's ridiculous for him to repeat five times that inflation is a big fat zero. Right after redefining "recession." Absurd. Use the normal metric, and show things are improving by taking meaningful actions instead of playing word games!

Prices aren't coming down. Inflation is far ahead of wage increases. The pain will continue.

So you folks better get ready to stand by the Repub positions on trying to block Medicare drug price negotiations, trying to block action on climate change, trying to block action on a minimum corporate tax rate so companies like Amazon don't pay 0 taxes, trying to block aid for veterans, and suggesting an investigation of a former prez who stole classified documents means the DoJ has been politicized.
Too much there to comment on here in this inflation thread.

Jim

Joe told another whopper. If you condone that, I don’t care.
