Lie of the Year

[Foxfyre]

It's hard to keep track of the disinformation, misinformation, selectively edited information and flat out lies from this administration, but the "inflation zero in July" is maybe the most absurd of these yet.

Inflation surged 8.5% in July which indicates some slowing due to oil prices coming down. But most of us paid more for hamburger and bread, etc.

What was the inflation number in June?

What was the inflation number in June?

9.7 so a reduction to 8.5 is anything but zero
Biden does not know what he says

 

[Lesh]

0% increase on inflation

Yes

The number is an average of the last 12 months
If your average in July is 1.2 percent less than it was in June that means inflation went down that month

What was the inflation number in June?

What was the number when biden took over?

The question was last month

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Yes

The number is an average of the last 12 months
If your average in July is 1.2 percent less than it was in June that means inflation went down that month

Not to pick at nits, it is not 1.2 percent less, it is 1.2 percentage points less.

It is 12% (roughly) less than June.

Biden created this mess. I won't give him credit till the rate is the same as when he started. After this new bill is in effect, inflation is going to rise and the layoffs that have already started. Will increase. Biden is a screw up.

You won’t give him credit regardless so I don’t think he cares

I just want Trump's low inflation, low energy prices, and I would be happy. But we gonna have to wait till 2024 to get Trump back in office to get those days back. Biden did that with last weeks raid, so I give him credit for that.

It's a standard totalitarian-communist tactic to tell blatant lies to the public. Manipulating the truth is the Dems' MO.

2+2=5

Yes and the world wasn't relying on gas from russia either. Thanks Biden, we were also energy independent. Answer me this, why is gas in Mexico cheap?

they compare monthly inflation to the previous year in the same month ... example 100 .00 costs in july 2020 . and the same costs in is 110.00 in 2021 is a 10 % increase in inflation ... so a 8.5 % increase in 2022 would be an increase in price nearly 19 bucks higher than the original 2020 cost .

I haven't noticed a difference. Have you?

It is 12% (roughly) less than June.

The rise is roughly 12% less than the rise in June. It is important to be precise about these things.
