I think he was just combating the people who are going on and on about how the numbers are fake (i.e., lower than they should be) because they exclude energy and food. The latest numbers we have show that inflation is *higher* when you exclude those items.


Its was this. Like obviously what I was doing.

Are all the rates calculated the same? How is Fx impact normalized? What’s in each countries basket?

I’m calling BS on thebUS reported numbers.

I think UI is just as much fiction as reported.

Either there's significant latency in these numbers or our friends in the ruling class are curating the stats carefully to justify whatever monetary or fiscal policy that supports the currency war underway now. The tail wagging the dog scenario would not shock me anymore.

4%? bullshite.

Before you declare bullshite there are two factors to consider. The first is that not all goods are considered. And while you might think that negates the data, it is still a good way to compare relative inflation in different countries.

Also, even if the inflation is only a little high it still sits on top of previous inflation. So prices are still extraordinarily high. We need to get inflation down to a flat 2% for a sustained period to allow wages to catch up to prices of goods.

In this paper, we find President Trump has proposed between $530 billion and $870 billion of additional spending and tax relief to address the current public health and economic crisis, with a central estimate of $650 billion. We find Vice President Biden has proposed between $2.0 trillion and $4.2 trillion of additional measures to address the crisis, with a central estimate of $3.1 trillion.

If the feds had started a more aggressive rate hike plan 6 months sooner than they had, I think we would be in a good place right now.
with oil prices continuing to shoot up, I’m not sure what’s going to happen now

Why are you only referencing BBB and not the trillions spent by Trump in 2020? They all causes inflation.


"The truth is that Biden didn’t do this to us. Our Republicans did this to us too. When they passed that $2.2 trillion Covid stimulus bill, they left us with 90 million people on Medicaid, 42 million people on food stamps."
...

"And so at the end of the day, you look at the 2024 budget, Republicans asked for 7.4 billion in earmarks, Democrats asked for 2.8 billion. So you tell me who are the big spenders. I think it’s time for an accountant in the White House." - Nikki Haley

Facts hurt.

I don't know what that graph is of, but it's not Inflation. US inflation from July 2022 was ~8.5% (so, roughly double what that picture shows).
