Oh look, inflation is up

[j-mac]

... which is more than ten times what you were trying to pass of on us with your error (I won't say lie).

Do you really think a tenth of one percent one way or the other is even noticeable in the everyday economy? I don’t.

Overview

A 0.1% (one-tenth of a percent) change in the inflation rate is generally not noticeable in everyday purchases. While it's a statistically significant figure, the price fluctuations of individual goods and services naturally vary more than that, making it difficult to perceive a 0.1% change in the overall cost of living.

Here's why:

• Rounding in CPI:
  The Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures inflation, is often rounded to the nearest 0.1%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (.gov).This means that a reported inflation rate of 2.0% could realistically be anywhere between 1.95% and 2.04%.
  
  
• Price Fluctuations:
  Individual prices of goods and services fluctuate daily due to various factors like supply and demand, seasonality, and promotional events. These fluctuations can easily be larger than 0.1%.
• Perception Threshold:
  The human perception of price changes is not linear.Small changes are often not noticed. The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas notes that 0.1% inflation is within the margin of error for many CPI components.
  
  
• Focus on larger trends:
  While 0.1% is not usually noticeable, larger trends and sustained periods of inflation are what impact purchasing power and economic planning.Investopedia notes that a rate of 2% to 3% is generally considered a healthy and stable inflation rate.

It will be if it is up another .2 or .3 by August. Either it comes down, or Trump can face problems.

Don’t delude yourself. Trump is on top of it…Bringing manufacturing back, drilling more, and evening the Global playing field. Something you leftists progs would never do, because you people don’t think America deserves prosperity for future generations. You’re more worried about keeping millions that came here fraudulently, than you are about your own communities of citizens. Your people are arrogant, self entitled brats, that think they, and they alone are smarter than everyone else.


Ugh, sick of you people.

Yeah, that's why he is at 41% to 46% popularity.

Even though they changed the way it is figured to hide that fact.

Probably sealing Powell's fate as well since he would now be less inclined to cut rates.

Biden had 20% inflation over his four years. Trump's will be less than half that over four years.

Inflation down to 2%, right at expected levels. Time to drop the interest rates.

You are lying or badly informed. In July 2025, the annualized inflation rate in the United States was 2.7%, according to data from the U.S. Labor Department. This figure reflects the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) over the 12-month period ending in July, and it remained unchanged from the previous month2. usinflationcalculator.comn

By definition, inflation is always up.

Not after WWI. Deflation sat in for several years.

That’s cause deflation isn’t inflation

Yeah, deflation. Inflation has nowhere to go but up. And deflation has nowhere to go but down.
