New Inflation Data Is Worse Than You Think

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

We got lucky today, and now we have government mixed up info going to appear next month.

And you call this 'good news.'

Short of complete economic collapse, we will weather any woes the country undergoes.

Or a nuclear attack.

But the great majority of Americans are threatened by Trump's presidency, and we years to go.

We will have disaster with Trump if he is not corralled.

Biden pulled us out of Trump's inflation crisis because he mismanaged Covid response and shipping.,

Trump will do much worse.

Didn't you loons say that in January? Stop crying wolf. None of the loony liberal predictions have come to pass.

Core inflation rose at an annualized rate of 3.1% in July, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on Tuesday, as President Donald Trump's nonsensical tariffs led to rising prices for American consumers. The current topline figure is 2.7% This is .2 percentage points higher than the previous month’s figure.

That 3.1% annualized rate is the fastest rising inflation rate in five months, and higher than the 2.9% annualized rate BLS clocked in July 2024, according to The New York Times.

"For two years inflation was declining toward the [Federal Reserve Bank’s] target. That seems to be over," University of Michigan economics professor Justin Wolfers wrote in a post on X.

Economists agree.

"Trump was handed a stable economy. I expected them to screw up either the labor market, prices, or growth. I didn't expect them to fumble all three," Mike Konczal, senior director of policy and research at the Economic Security Project, wrote in a post on X.

The only reason Trump beat Harris by a measley 1 1/2 points was because of higher prices and inflation. You know, the things he said he would bring down on day one. This hurts his voters in red rural districts the most. Not only has he made life more unaffordable for them, but his big billionaire bill is closing hospitals in those districts, and they are losing health care benefits. And his tariffs are the highest tax increase on them since the McKinnley administration, only making it worse.

This is not going to go over well in the elections for Republicans. Who are just hanging themselves by making excuses for Taco Pedo at townhalls they're getting booed out of.

You ******* liberals are retarded you know that?

Nope.

I stopped reading at for two years blah blah blah. You lied or you're dumb, dollars to donuts it's the latter.

That and like all leftists you are butthurt as **** were better with Trump in all categories.

It actually isnt that bad. Wages are increasing more than inflation and the middle class got a tax cut. Gas and food is down unless you live in a democrat state.

The new inflation numbers have to be worse than you think, because if they aren't, your fear-mongering doesn't work.

Hey Dude.

I just want ALL prices to stabilize.
Is that happening?

Your absolute expectations aren't happening, no. That's not how economies work. Prices fluctuate all the time. They are never truly stable.

That's the point.

Trump said...... watch the videos.....saying he would bring down prices on DAY 1.

Did trump LIE? Of Course he did. Can you concur?

It may be October and November before MAGA goes "oh, no."

That's the general consensus in the financial industry. By then, inventories will have been replenished and pretty much everything will have worked its way through supply chains (which is the biggest concern).

No way to know for sure yet. Obviously American employers will have to absorb as much as they can -- they're the ones paying for this. So the question will be how much they ultimately have to pass on to consumers.

We may see little tricks played, like a reduction in choice -- lower-margin products simply no longer offered. We might see credit/short term paper facilities get creative. And who knows what this Treasury is willing to do. There are still a few moving parts here.

50/50. We'll see.

You loons predicted April or May, what happened to that prediction? Oh that's right, you lied.

Worse than I think? How do you know what I think?

 

[elektra]

Food prices down.
Energy prices down.
Another Trump win for working folks.

My thought as well

What you call lying, I call overly grandiose statements. Furthermore, I can see that people take him literally, intentionally so that they have something to complain about later.

TRUMP Tariffs are just kicking in

We are in for a wild ride

 

[berg80]

It actually isnt that bad. Wages are increasing more than inflation

REAL EARNINGS – JUNE 2025

All employees

Real average hourly earnings for all employees decreased 0.1 percent from May to June, seasonally adjusted, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. This result stems from an increase of 0.2percent in average hourly earnings combined with an increase of 0.3 percent in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).Real average weekly earnings decreased 0.4 percent over the month due to the change in real average hourly earnings combined with a decrease of 0.3 percent in the average workweek.

In what world are you living?
Those tariffs are being paid on the backs of US consumers

Harris lost 13 million voters from the previous election, every battleground state, every county, and the EC votes were a landslide for Trump. Democrats lost members from every demographic.

The tariffs have had little effect.

There was no tax cut fer the middle class, just a continuance of a previous tax cut in 2017.
