New Inflation Data Is Worse Than You Think

[ColonelAngus]

I paid $2.95 for regular unleaded in Tampa yesterday.

Can someone explain to me why lefties get so excited about bad economic indicators when a Republican is President, but spin them to be positives when a Democrat is President?

At the time of enactment, the U.S. annual inflation rate peaked around 9.1% (measured by the Consumer Price Index). By July 2025, it had fallen to 2.7% year-over-year.

Reduction, not “Ending” straw man.

so you agree inflation when xiden was in office was 9.1%. Finally you admit it. I remember that you didn't say shit about it back then.

Wages are up more than inflation the middle class got a tax cut gas is low and tariffs havent had much effect. Some food is up most are down.

I heard americans are taking home $5,000.00 more this year.

 

[jc456]

Did inflation go up or down after it was passed?

When was the last time inflation was at 9.1%. Let's see the difference between that year and after that signing.

Wholesale prices rose 0.9% in July, much more than expected​

As a few folks on the board pointed out this week the CPI number from the other day masked some underlying issues with inflation not reflected in the report. Economists have been saying increased inflation due to the tariffs will come. Perhaps this is another sign it is on our doorstep.

Are the chickens coming home to roost? Nope, the TX state representatives are still MIA.

Nostra[/US+ER] is lying.

Inflation rate came down a lot after passage of the inflation reduction act.

It was 8.3% in November 2022 when it was signed. See the graph. It goes down.

that reminds me, here in chicago, the governor implemented an additional tax on gas two months ago. I didn't see one demofk screaming about the struggling poor then. That makes all prices go up.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. inflation was unchanged in July as rising prices for some imported goods were balanced by falling gas and grocery prices, leaving overall prices modestly higher than a year ago.

Seems to be a common thread with democrat shitholes. WA, CA, HI, IL, NY--fuel prices down in the majority of the country--but dems will make them rise with more inflationary taxes.

I remember when the Democrats said the same thing during the Biden admin.

Yes. I agree that Trump’s COVID lasted a couple of years when Biden was president. Thank God Biden cleaned up the huge Trump ****-up.

 

[Nostra]

I do.

Can you tell me what the rate was?

Yes.

 

[Delldude]

Yes. I agree that Trump’s COVID lasted a couple of years when Biden was president. Thank God Biden cleaned up the huge Trump ****-up.

And now all these people have irreversible health issues from an untested 'vaccine'.

Biden deserves credit for the national, federally run distribution of the vaccine since trump wanted to leave it up to the states. But then he was too busy playing golf and scheming to steal the election to do his job.

Tater declared the emergency over just a few months in……..then gave us record Fauci Flu deaths.
