Still lower than every year brain dead was in office
Also it’s at 3.4 percent
Around the average

So what’s your point Karen

So you are telling me that you paid a lot less for groceries between 2021 - 2023? I call bullshite on that - and if you were then there is your solid evidence of Price Gouging..

Remember Kamala ran on price "GAGING?" Well, I guess she was actually right about something



If so, then talk to your local grocery store and tell them to stop price gouging. Better yet, find a cheaper store to shop at

You may have gotten those numbers reversed, Powermullah, but what else should I expect from someone who loves the followers of a backwards religion like Islam.

You're an actual retard that doesn't understand how inflation works.... wow. I never really thought you were actually stupid until right now. I thought you were just brainwashed. It's all making sense now.

I'm not a fan of Islam. But I could see how a severely stupid person might come to that conclusion.

I would say think more but maybe you should think less. You're not good at it anyway so maybe reserve the brainpower for something else.

Ummm, 4 years cumulative compared to 1 year and 8 months?

Not sure that's a great story. Better if it was average *annual* rates over the period. So Trump's % needs to be ~40% lower (20 months / 48 months) for it to be better.

That still leaves Trump a winner in a lot of those, but too many losers for a great story (and too obfuscated).

Gasoline, Fuel Oil, Apples Coffee are not good enough.

OK, big winner in the important stuff - BACON and EGGS!!!!

Well the biggest thing you seem not to understand is that inflation is cumulative. The second thing you seem not to understand is that the October 2024 rate you keep using is the inflation over the previous month. So, using that information surely now you see how rediculous you sound, right?

Not to mention inflation was inevitable coming out of the pandemic. Both administrations have ownership there but you won't get these knuckle draggers to connect the dots.

I didnt say anything about post pandemic prices

Prices were up during pandemic times. Then they went down.
Now everything is more expensive than it was 2 years ago. With the exception of eggs.
I work in an industry where I track grocery prices very closely. I don’t know about a lot of things but I know a lot about food prices.

So all of this means that my noting that the inflation rate was lower in October 2024 than it is in October 2026 is wrong? Or does that mean that inflation stopped mattering after Biden left office?

Inflation is about the same.
walmart white bread was 82c when Biden took office

It was around $1.42 when he left



1/2 gal of milk was $1.99 pre Covid-19, today it's $3.25 for a 1/2 gallon. one pound of 80/20 ground beef in 2019 was around $3.85, in 2024 the cost was $5.40 pound, today it's around $6.00 a pound.

no. It means that randomly picking one fricking month from a presidents term is fricking stupid. It's stupid to do it for any president.
