Inflation report, September 10 2025

[sealybobo]

Good news this morning: U.S. wholesale inflation rate fell in August even as upward price pressures persisted

So while supply chains are under pressure to increase prices, they've been able to absorb increased costs so far. There are two or three other things they may be doing as well, but right now supply chains are holding.

Also, if this holds, it would make it easier for the Fed to cut rates. Bessent wants to run this hot, so we'll see how this goes. Fingers crossed.

Yes, and Trump wants the Fed to drastically cut interest rates, which would make things even worse. Because he's ignorant.

This is K-shaped economy. The top 1% is flying high, at least 50% are in trouble. Trump just told Laura Ingraham that this is "the best economy ever". Because he's ignorant.

And my rich brother is saying the exact same thing Trump is saying. So are USMB Republicans. The ones who admit this economy is bad for most of us say be patient. We're going to have to go through some pain to fix what is broken. They say NAFTA broke the middle class and in order to fix the middle class we have to bring jobs back home. Through tariffs. Which are going to jack up the price of everything. Will that job that comes home pay more because with the price of everything going up, it better.

I am not blaming Biden for the inflation that occurred on his watch. And he did an amazing job getting us through it. We hardly felt the pain. Republicans nit picked and said "what about poor people who are struggling and can't buy groceries, energy or a new home?"

Well now Republicans are hurting those people. And they are telling them to be patient. It's all going to be better in 1 or 2 years. Yea right. By then those poor people will just get used to paying more for everything. Maybe they'll get a $1 or $2 an hour raise but that's not going to keep up with Trumpflation.

Yes Obiden inflation hurt many. Rents are "too damn high".

It's stabilized a bit, but stolen 2020 still having consequences. Did you think damage is fake or temporary? It takes time to repair Obiden damages.

The inflation under Biden was inevitable. It was going to happen regardless of who was in the White House. Global supply chains collapsed coming out of COVID, there was far too much liquidity, demand exploded out of the shutdowns, and that was that.

I'll bet the flock can see that things are not improving and/or getting worse, but they're stuck in their rabbit hole. Meanwhile the 1% is loving this. But the flock will believe their idol's bullshit no matter what.

Remember Kamala said after Covid companies were gouging us. The supply chain problems went away but they kept the prices up. Republicans went nuts. Government can't interfere. What is Kamala going to do MAKE companies lower their prices? Then

In November 2025, Donald Trump accused foreign-owned meat packers of inflating U.S. beef prices and called for an investigation into alleged price gouging.

Trump warned companies against raising prices due to his tariffs, particularly in May 2025 when he told Walmart to "eat the tariffs" instead of passing the costs onto consumers. Walmart, along with brands like Mattel, had warned that the increased tariffs on Chinese goods would necessitate price hikes.
