Hey, I'm no economics whiz ... but isn't 2.5% lower than the 9% we had under Joe Biden?
Just wondering ...

I mean if you're using white supremacy math then sure it's lower but using DEI math it is systemic racism!

See.... SOURCE!!!

That's what the evidence showed. What we do know is that the 9 percent you right-wingers continue repeating was due to COVID, inflation was global, and you guys consistently deny this. In fact, Trump's mismanagement that you right winger have excused was part of the cause. Inflation was reduced from that 9 percent during Biden, and even your chart shows that it was below 3 percent when he left, yet you lying right-wingers continue pushing a false narrative.

 

[M14 Shooter]

What you dishonest right-wing need to do is stop talking about a few months as if it was all 4 years.

Your lying ass chooses to miss the point of the thread:
Your predictions for a post-tariff inflation spike were wrong.

See?

Inflation measure falls to nearly five-year low as gas prices fall and housing costs cool

A key measure of inflation fell to nearly a five-year low last month as apartment rental price growth slowed and gas prices fell, offering some relief to Americans still grappling with the sharp increase in costs of the past five years.

A key measure of inflation fell to nearly a five-year low last month as apartment rental price growth slowed and gas prices fell, offering some relief to Americans grappling with the sharp cost increases of the past five years.

Inflation dropped to 2.4% in January compared with a year earlier, down from 2.7% in December and not too far from the Federal Reserve's 2% target. Core prices, which exclude the volatile food and energy categories, rose just 2.5% in January from a year ago, down from 2.6% the previous month and the smallest increase since March 2021.

The funny thing about news like this is all the "experts" and "instutitions" keep repeating their same dog shit even when the numbers don't seem to follow what they proclaim must happen.

A study released Thursday by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found that U.S. companies and consumers are paying nearly 90% of the tariffs' costs, echoing similar findings in studies by Harvard and other economists.

Many firms may pass along more of those costs to their customers in the coming months, economists warn, which may keep inflation elevated.

Sure it hasn't happened and our warnings fell flat but don't worry, we will just keep on warning until like a broken clock, we are right twice a day.

I look forward to the future articles where "experts" are "confounded" and "perplexed" about why their predictions never came to pass.

We'll see about that since we know that Trump fires people who don't provide the information he wants to see. You liars miss the point that the 9 percent inflation you guys hung on Biden was the result of global inflation created in the aftermath of a global pandemic, and that Biden reduced that inflation from 9 percent to under 3 pecent and that is what he handed Trump. So Trump has one NOTHING to reduce the inflation. But he'll repeat numbers, and you idiots will give him credit for things he hasn't done.

They have come to pass. But you will believe what the administration tells you.

 

[M14 Shooter]

We'll see about that

We -have- been seeing about that.
You, specifically and collectively, were wrong and your lying ass won't admit it.
Your lying ass, back on ignore.

You know democrats are going to lie about it.

Hi, IM2.

Biden's mishandling of COVID undoubtedly played a large role.

Since the US economy is the largest in the world, claiming that the inflation was global, is pretty much a given. High inflation in the US means high global inflation. But note that China's (2nd largest economy) inflation was 2% when ours was 8%. (link - see 2022).

Bidenflation was also driven by his extreme border policies, increasing demand for all goods and services by flooding the country with millions of illegals.

And Biden's war on energy was also largely to blame. Energy prices affect the cost of just about everything. I mean, on day one, he cancelled the Keystone pipeline! He literally said he was going to "end fossil fuels," which is one of the most idiotic statements ever. He tried, all right. Thankfully, Trump has changed those plans dramatically.

So, I beg to differ, IM2. You can call it a false narrative, but the data shows remarkable differences between the two admins, and there is an abundance of data.

Here's the real false narrative:

"Inflation is transitory."
"It's the Putin price hike."
"Trump left us with this." (1.4 % inflation)
"Inflation Reduction Act will reduce inflation."
"Greedy corporations are price gouging."

All lies from the Biden Admin. You should be tired of them lying to you by now.

Regards,
Jim

Shit. He lies FOR them.

Trump promised us a Golden Age. He seems to be delivering.

Leftist media tells us that all these numbers are a fluke, but they are the results of deliberate superior economic policies which put Americans like IM2 first...

So much great economic news.

Biden didn't mishandle jack squat. Thats why inflation dropped from 9 percent to under 3 by the time he left. Trump was the president at the beginning of COVID. It was his mismngement that created any problem in the aftermath. What you MAGATS call a false narrative is the truth. There was no war on energy. Biden was pumping oil at record rates.

ALL RISE!

Todays lesson:

Canceling the Keytone XL pipeline didn't change anything

Due to the pandemic, the American economy pretty much experienced deflation. Because everyone stayed home during the outbreak and few people drove, gas and other prices dropped significantly. Why? Because there was very little demand for gasoline. When people were able to get back on the streets, and demand rose, so did prices. Then Vladimir Putin decided to invade Ukraine. People blamed Biden for the gas increases, and this was driven by propaganda put out by the Republicans, led by Donald Trump. They were quick to blame Biden for the price increases, claiming that his shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline created the high prices. Far too many people chose to believe that.

Now, the thing about the Keystone XL Pipeline that was being constructed is that it was to ship tar sands, not petroleum. Furthermore, the tar sands were being shipped to the Gulf to be refined and put on ships that were transporting the refined product out of the country. Closing the pipeline did not affect gas prices, and in fact, it was an environmental benefit to the country. “Tar sands oil is thicker, more acidic, and more corrosive than lighter conventional crude, and this ups the likelihood that a pipeline carrying it will leak. Indeed, one study found that between 2007 and 2010, pipelines moving tar sands oil in Midwestern states spilled three times more per mile than the U.S. national average for pipelines carrying conventional crude.”The original Keystone pipeline had problems with pipes busting. In October of 2019, the Keystone pipeline burst and spilled over 300,000 gallons of tar sands. Studies from the company in 2021 stated that the likelihood of pipes bursting had increased because of the time materials had been sitting outside exposed to the elements. This was a hazard waiting to happen. President Biden stopped it, but it seems that Republicans think we’ll do just fine drinking oil. Why do I say this?

The XL pipeline was being built to send environmentally hazardous stuff over the largest underwater source in the country, the Ogallala Aquifer. The Ogallala Aquifer lies under 8 states (South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas), and serves as a water source for drinking and irrigation. Imagine the damage to the country had that pipeline burst and tar sands leaked into that aquifer. That is what Biden got criticized for doing. He was blamed for killing jobs, but the jobs associated with building that pipeline were temporary and would have created only 35 permanent jobs. So at the end of the day President Biden got grilled for cancelling a pipeline that was going to produce a minimal number of jobs, an environmental hazard that could potentially contaminate a water source that directly serves 8 states; a source that is 30 percent of the groundwater used to irrigate in America, and is used for more than one fourth of the irrigated land in this this country. Where is Forrest Taft when you need him?

So much great economic news.

If you believe Caroline Levitt, you are a complete fool.

In Bidens last year 1,000 people per day became millionaires. “The number of USD millionaires rose 1.2% in 2024, an increase of more than 684,000 people compared to the previous year, with the US adding over 379,000 new millionaires. That’s more than 1,000 a day.”

Of course. They're Democrats.
They can't ever admit a Republican -- especially Trump -- did something good, unless it directly supports one of their agendas.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Inflation was 2.4 on election night in 2024. It was 9 percent for a short time due to COVID. If Trump had been president in 2021, it would have been 9 percent for him. What you dishonest right-wingers need to do is stop talking about a few months as if it was all 4 years. Finally, it is unwise to believe anything produced by this administration.

How? You people say COVID hurt Biden but it didn’t hurt Trump. Biden’s 9 percent inflation happened after COVID.
