CPI comes in at 2.7% beating 3.1% estimate. Trump is right, again. 2026 setup for success.

[M14 Shooter]

CPI excludes food and gas, not a true measure of the cost of living . There are better indexes.

Maybe. But this is the index familiar to most people, the most reported in the news and most used by politicians to brag / criticize.

 

[leftwinger]

We are at a deceptive inflection point in the economy. The CPI numbers are hollow, with limited data and bad methods. GDP numbers are inflated due a drastic drop in imports. Imports are subtracted from GDP.

Retailers paused as many imports as they could, while selling the inventory they had. They did so in hopes that Trump would soon walk back the tariffs that affect them, THEN they could start importing again.

Well, the inventory is running dry, and our fool president has made it clear he must be forced to drop the tariffs. So retailers have started importing again. And they are warning the country about the price hikes that are coming, basically, right now. They played a little game of chicken with each other while waiting Trump out, and now they have all blinked. Prices are going to increase quickly. GDP will "fall" quickly, as imports rise again. But, in reality, the lack of an observed contraction in the GDP already was a ruse, due to the strategic pause on imports by so many corporations.

Well over 1 million jobs have been lost, in 2025. Unemployment will be >5%, soon. That, itself, contracts GDP.

The only trouble is useless GOVT jobs, low level Illegal immigrants jobs and over stocked AI jobs. Every CEO ran out paying $275K per ENG to claim "we are in AI". Not enough of the good Ole boys even know what AI is.

Can it change a flat tire on roadside? SHUP about it.

Give it time. Trump policy should work. Don't you want America to prosper? Lol! You TDS loons apparently want complete global collapse.

What a bizarre and totally made up, useless take.

• The Trump administration halted Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, the largest project of its kind in the U.S.
• The administration also paused leases for Vineyard Wind 1, Revolution Wind, Sunrise Wind and Empire Wind 1, all of which are under construction.
• Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said the administration paused leases for the projects due to national security concerns identified by the Pentagon.

More common sense WINNING for America. Birds also a big thankyou.

Your cherry picked nonsense is irrelevant to what I posted.

CPI report shows inflation rose at a 2.7% annual pace in November, cooler than expected

Economists had expected CPI to rise at an annual rate of 3% last month.

www.cbsnews.com

The Consumer Price Index rose at an annual rate of 2.7% in November, cooler than economists had forecast and providing a sign that price pressures may be easing

Looks like the Fed can keep cutting rates without causing inflation.

This is very good news for Trump and Republicans.

Now if only congress could agree on an ACA fix to keep the government open after the CR runs out in January.

Republicans need to pass all the appropriations Bills to fund everything before the CR runs out at the end of January, fix the ACA or put up a new plan, then it should be clear sailing to the mid-terms...

The report used 3 out of the normal 15 data points to determine the inflation report.

It is a useless as calling the winner of a baseball game based on the score in the 3rd inning.

So we'll track it and see how accurate it ends up being. Its not a WAG, its a SWAG.

The consensus opinion is that the inflation number is distorted downward from reality.

Trumpinomics is working and right on schedule. Despite their best efforts, the Left have failed to stop the turn around of the USA from the dark, dark days of Bidenism.

By next Spring, the country is going to be rebounding right on schedule like a juggernaut, the economy will be booming, and the USA will be firing on all 16 cylinders. Then over the year, the GOP will hammer out new bills on healthcare and such, sweep the midterms leaving democrats eating dirt, with a great set-up for a Vance Administration in 2028.

Trump On!

No one believes this report. Not even the right. The data was mostly missing. I cant believe the incompetence of the Trump administration. We've had many shutdowns and they never produced bad and incomplete data.

So prices are still going up, and we're supposed to take the word of the dept. that fired everybody and was replaced with Trump ass kissers, after not reporting at all in October?

 

[M14 Shooter]

So prices are still going up,....

Prices always go up, dipshit. Only rarely is inflation a negative percentage, and it almost always signifies major economic problems.

we're supposed to take the word

Like a good partisan bigot, you never questioned the good economic news from the Biden administration...

I was paying close to $70 to fill up my gas tank under Biden, and now I’m paying around $45.
