A LOT of inflation numbers pushed by .gov and MSM have an asterisk behind them: *Excludes energy and food.
What do most people buy on a daily basis? Food and energy. Duh. That's where the biggest inflation has hit. Why would they not give you those numbers? Because you're too stupid to understand it, according to the Biden Industrial Complex. |

If you charted the changes in how inflation is measured, you would probably find the missing inflation.

It doesn't matter what lies these inept morons spew, their followers are so mind-bendingly fucking stupid, that they'll believe it and repeat it to anyone who will listen and refuse to listen to simple facts that refute the stupid shit completely.
They are that fucking dumb. I have listened to some of these idiots in coffeeshops, you would not believe how stupid they really are and what stupid shit they will fall for. What makes it worse, is that they think they are actually intelligent, and people who don't fall for this kind of obvious retardery are the ones who are stupid. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Steamedliver: This is true. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Steamedliver: "Most Americans," Cook said, "are not just looking for disinflation" a slowdown in price increases. "They're looking for deflation. They want these prices to be back where they were before the pandemic. I hear that from my family." This is true. Deflation is the last thing that is going to happen. If deflation happens, the insane levels of federal debt become even harder to pay off. The level of debt will increase in real terms without even adding any new debt. The feds MUST have inflation to help reduce the debt. There are only three ways to reduce the federal debt: - Pay it off (yeah, right...) - Default (would ruin credit and severely increase interest rates because our credit rating would be crap) - Inflation (Inflation is just a slow motion default. We are still defaulting by replacing good money with money of lesser value, but hopefully nobody notices...) |

The RATE of inflation may be back to the normal 2%-3% but Americans are still dealing with Biden’s and the Progressive’s bumbled COVID shutdowns and energy policy which has raised prices on just about EVERYTHING Americans NEED by 30%-40% since 2020. That is permanent. The current 2% inflation rate simply ADDS to that. Meanwhile, real incomes have barley budged or have actually gone down for many households.
In addition, retirees and those close to retirement have seen their 401k, IRAs and other investments stagnate. Sure, you can pump money into Ts and CDs but those high yields will be temporary and you will pay outrageous taxes on the returns and still be left looking for a smart place to put your savings. The stock market has devolved into casino gambling. A few people manipulating the market to add to their piles of Millions. It has been dramatically “up” the past week but it will soon be chiseled away. BIG CLUB and all that. Meanwhile, we are being demographically flooded with MILLIONS of illegal migrants, the big cities have become Mad Max movie-sets and we are exporting BILLIONS and BILLIONS of borrowed Dollars to pay for other people’s wars. |
