Official Report Lowballs the Biden Inflation At 20% Since His Inauguration

The inflation rate was 172,000 % when I took office, my word as a Biden.

Trump's inflation killed my boy Beau. I'm serious, I'm not joking.

Look it up, Fat!

Joe Biden's inflation crisis continues with prices up 19.9% since '21, CPI report

Quick Hit:
As the inflation crisis under President Joe Biden's administration continues, the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report reveals a 19.9% increase in prices since January 2021. This surge in prices has resulted in an annual cost of $12,892 to the average household.
Key Details:
Since January 2021, gas prices have surged by over 55%.
Grocery prices have increased by 21.3%, with items like eggs seeing a 43.5% hike.
Essential services and commodities such as rent, electricity bills, auto insurance, and baby food have seen increases of 20.8%, 28.5%, 52.1%, and 30.0% respectively.

Electricity only costs more because the snags in the foreign supply chains are keeping electricity from being delivered by ship. In the case of rent, Greedy Corporations are charging more for their rental properties. State-controlled auto insurance also costs more because of Greedy Corporations who act as state regulators.

The inflation crisis under President Joe Biden's administration shows no signs of abating. The latest CPI data paints a grim picture of the economic landscape, with prices having increased by a staggering 19.9% since January 2021. This surge in prices has resulted in an annual cost of $12,892 to the average household, significantly impacting the purchasing power of the American consumer.

Black voters are abandoning Biden over inflation -- and also, Biden's relentless pursuit of an extremist groomer agenda.

Black voters are trending away from President Joe Biden and Democrats, frustrated that Democrats are not addressing kitchen table issues as they grab for extreme matters to woo leftists, according to a broad poll of 39 battleground congressional districts.
In the new survey from Cygnal, conducted in 20 states, Democrats are struggling to maintain their edge with black and women voters, "two traditionally reliable Democrat voting blocs."
Vice President of Polling Brock McCleary told Secrets on Wednesday morning, "Democrats are in trouble with black voters, as the number of those saying the Democrat Party is more extreme than the Republican Party has increased by 20% since March. Biden is similarly in trouble, with over a third having an unfavorable view of the president, and it's largely because they're most concerned with the cost of living and not ideological issues like climate change and election integrity that his administration has chosen to prioritize."
...

The new survey showed voters are focused on both, and they also want something done about the open border between Mexico and the United States.
Cygnal's survey of 1,500 likely general election voters revealed one possible reason why voters continue to give Trump a slight edge in general election matchups four years after Biden beat the Republican.
In a word, it's "nostalgia," pollster McCleary said.
"Nostalgia for Trump's first term continues to gain steam. Battleground voters now give Trump positive job approval for his four years in the White House while disapproval of Biden remains high," he said.

Biden promised a return to "normality." What he delivered was chaos, disorder, despair, and death.

Golly, @SenBooker you are too smart for this kind of misinformation. Inflation costs keep piling up at an unacceptable pace. https://t.co/YRbdmEYRgm pic.twitter.com/Qo2Yw26Fd0

We'll see. I don't think Trump is unaware of who Tapper and Bash are and how they will play this.

I doubt there are all that many people right now who don't know who Trump is and the entire country is used to Democrats accusing him of stuff that turns out not to be true. This is an election between two guys who have a record in office, people did well under one and are getting hammered under the current one.

Trump wanted Joe on stage, obviously. He's not as stupid as some seem to think.

135 When Democrats take over they do everything they can to manipulate the truth.

When it comes to inflation they not only changed what costs go in to determining it, but also the duration. So now they'll say we're only at 4% inflation (or some bullshit) but ignore that it's now a yearly metric. So yeah we're only up 4%, but it's on top of last year's 4%, and the prior year's 9% and so on.

I clearly remember paying 1.60 end of Oct first of Nov, 2020.
It's now 3.30. 55%?
That and higher natural gas prices have likely fed the inflation of food and household goods as much as anything.

224 I agree Corporations take advantage of the government caused inflation to raise their prices just a bit more than the increased costs to produce their product. But f I'm being kind it's the corporation trying to get ahead of even more increases in the cost of production. If cost of production decreases enough I can see competition causing prices to go down but not to the levels seen at the start of 2020.
