  1. Just in time for the midterms

  2. people substituting clothes and cars for FOOD and democrats cheer cuz clothes prices went down 1%.

    Gotta remember the democrats changed what makes up CPI so they can tell you how things are not as bad.

  3. I don't know what part of the US I'm living in because the price here doesn't go down.

  4. These past few days watching my crypto portfolio decline is very disheartening. Holding doesn't really profit much. Any ideas on how to earn better on the short run?

  5. All Stores 900,000 Please Lower the price of all Brands of Military Equipment and Local for All Brands of Inflation Products and Production Cost Now 900,000 That's Too Much $$ 900,000 Now The Whole World 900,000 Now 🙏 🤲 🕍 🕌 ⛪ 🛕

  6. How much higher could it go so this is not good!! Food prices are out of control!!!

  7. “The cost of everything going up, just not as high as fast as it had been going up.”

    Only in America can they spin bad news into good news. Also, what is used to calculate these numbers is some completely arbitrary set of metrics that doesn’t include a whole range of things that directly impact the citizenry.

    “It’s bad, but not as bad as it could be, so it’s good!”

    How Americans voluntarily subject themselves to this form of self-abuse is beyond my comprehension.

  8. It was 1.2% when this kunt took office.

  9. I'm done sitting tight for the award advance since i acquire$23,000 every 12 days of my investment.❤

  10. The Media can't sell this to those of us who pay for our own, the only ones actually buying this spin are those who spend others money..

  11. I can't understand why people think the President controls inflation. Since the 1960s prices have "inflated" 800%, with an average of 4% per year. Inflation is a fact of life.

  12. cant believe these news companies are out here trying to sell us everything is getting better dream

  13. LOL my housing costs are a few hundred a month.
    Food about the same, maybe $350. and I spend that much on dog, horse, goat, rabbit, chicken and koi feed. Gas? Last time I filled up my truck was the 5th of July. I don't need to go to town but once or twice a month. There is smart living and "poorly educated" living. U$ M$M Propaganda doesn't effect my life.

  14. Who cares?! I can still get abortions and democracy has been saved!

  15. Lmao 😂. US is the sinking boat

  16. Absolutely nothing is coming down

  17. If you vote "D" even if they have brain damage, then you have brain damage.

  18. So much better, thanks Joe.

  19. The Bureau of Labor Statistics calculates the Consumer Price Index (CPI) number using the average cost of a basket of goods in the month and divides it by the same basket from the previous month. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the change in prices from one month to the next.

  20. I don't mind dems suffering for their poor choices but dragging down everyone else with them is just despicable.

  21. Have you been to the grocery store idiots? Once the price goes up never goes down.

  22. BE PICKY don’t be willing to pay these high prices for things you don’t need.

  23. This is all data from months ago. Rate hikes dont effect the economy immediately.

  24. Working poor … the usa way

  25. told you after nov 8 inflation would go down that good. compaired to the world ceo still have ther hand in you pocket and ther need to be broke up! and now the pepole should ask the goverment corp profit tax on all ther greed. from big oil big phama wall mart all the componey that made 10% profits on the pepole and now we dont need to ever bail out componey again we the pepole.

  26. If ignorance is bliss why aren't you MAGA cultists happier?

  27. Lol 7.7 is over last years record numbers. It’s not easing at all. It’s simply not growing as fast.

  28. Inflation is not Biden’s mistake 💙💙💙. Inflation is global. There are many reasons such as covid, shortages… but it is global. This is political hate and a political play 😂

  29. All without Republican help.

  30. I live in Denver Colorado Foods coming down our gas right now is like 325 a gallon Army's going down like a dollar a pound the only thing we notice is the egg but still expensive and bread
