Inflation fell in August amid fears of an economic slowdown following two straight months of disappointing job gains, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) release on Wednesday.
The consumer price index (CPI), a broad measure of the price of everyday goods, increased 2.5% on an annual basis in August and rose 0.2% month-over-month, compared to a 2.9% year-over-year rate in July, according to the BLS. Core CPI, which excludes the volatile categories of energy and food, rose 3.2% year-over-year in August, compared with 3.2% in July.
The dumb bitch says when elected she's gonna fix all that. Why aint she fixing it right now? She isn't because she obviously has no intention of doing so. Don't those asshole supporting her get this? What ta hell is wrong with those people.
ReplyDeleteI guess there are more illiterates than we think. Since she is the acting president she should use the pen.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazes me is that sheeple think prices will go down if TPTB say inflation is going down. Idiots! The word 'inflation' should explain it all.
ReplyDeleteRiiiight.

ReplyDeleteWhen Biden entered office, gas prices quickly rose to almost double, roughly $5 where I live. If Kamala gets in office, you'll wish gas cost only $5 a gallon.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell good is an inflation stat that leaves OUT energy and food prices? You might buy a house or a car once a decade or so. But you have to eat and get around erry dang day. I am far more interested in the price of meat and gasoline than I am in what a second home might run me.
ReplyDeleteSocial Security cost of living adjustment is tied to the 'official inflation rate' so the Dems are very happy to exclude any real indicator of out-of-control inflation.
DeleteWhen we realize the people who create these numbers directly benefit by lying to us the sooner you realize you're wasting your time reading their crap.
