Why is inflation reported with food and energy included in the data during the Trump administration but inflation was reported excluding food and energy during the Biden years?

This is great news, but as a consumer I’m not seeing it at all. I still want my grocery bill each week to be what it was before Covid.

When you have 50-70 million foreigners all sending money outside the US that helps. Since 2022 80% of new jobs have gone to foreigners. It’s insane. You can’t go 39 trillion in debt and have low inflation.

Don’t get too excited - oil prices snapped back up and will ruin July numbers if they don’t move back down again soon.

You realize that inflation receding doesn't mean prices will come down, right?

Unless there's a cycle of deflation (which would be even worse), prices aren't going down. When inflation goes down, all that means is that they won't continue to go up as fast.

CATO Institute link

That was easy.

The total number of jobs has grown, but the native-born population has not. Somebody has to fill those jobs.

That took me about 5 minutes to find. You could have but you are either lazy or devoid of curiosity.

either way sucks to be you

Prices are never going to be back at pre-Covid levels unless the economy collapses.

You can’t print trillions of dollars without significant price increases

Reported inflation is a little higher.


We are just at under 2%.


Current BLS data is lagging the drop in housing prices.


quote:

Consumer Price Index (CPI) shelter components—such as rent and Owners' Equivalent Rent (OER)—are based on all tenants rather than just new ones. This means that official shelter inflation famously lags behind real-time market rent indices (like Zillow).
