Sneak Trump supporting propaganda :russell:

"The CPI chart on the home page reflects our estimate of inflation for today as if it were calculated the same way it was in 1990. The CPI on the Alternate Data Series tab here reflects the CPI as if it were calculated using the methodologies in place in 1980. In general terms, methodological shifts in government reporting have depressed reported inflation, moving the concept of the CPI away from being a measure of the cost of living needed to maintain a constant standard of living.

What does this have to do with what I said?
A president is going to take credit for a good economy and play down a bad economy

If you know the drivers of inflation and deflation, and whose responsible for taming it, why do you care what his supporters say? Do you care as much as what his detractors say?

Inflation wasn't just a US problem, it impacted all the western powers...it was essentially a global issue

The way these numbers are reported isn’t defined by the President. Just like unemployment. People want to complain about flaws in the formula like President churns out the number with a calculator. Any time you generate one value from a massive economy you’re going to lose context; just like GDP is misleading.

But I agree the inflation rate hitting average Americans is way higher than the official number.

The real question what point are these pro-Trump scumbags trying to make when "Joe Biden Inflation" is about the only talking point they have left?

Inflation had everything to do with Joe Biden to them the moment he took office and inherited Trumps disaster. He was the "worst President ever" from day one regardless of context or nuance. but they gonna piss and get mad if inflation turns around and hthe public goes in the opposite direction.

I swear Trump supporters like @Will Ross are such childish scumbags all the way. If "inflation" is yet another Joe Biden talking point they feel confident falling on, than they're just gonna end up with even more egg on their face than the 2022 midterms and "rigged election when deflation comes about. Feel sorry for these rabid right wingers. They just can't think for themselves and allow their apparatus of media grifters who don't give a fukk about nothing but audience and money send them off a cliff with short sighted misinfo.

Some of these people taxing on purpose. Can’t blame the President for all this. :yeshrug:Some of this shyt is unnecessarily high. People gouging like a MF out here. It’s funny cause these grocery stores be having to mark shyt down for quick sale a lot around here when the shyt could’ve been cheaper anyway. I think a lot of people including myself live for them markdowns.

Inflation is a global phenomenon its not just an american issue, the US is doing fairly well inflation wise in comparison to other developed countries
That’s true…but the question is…are they lying about the severity of it? Is it actually higher than 7%
