January inflation numbers

[Cellblock2429]

Consumer prices increased at an annual rate of 6.4% in January — a slight slowdown from the 6.5% seen in December, but above analysts' prediction of 6.2%.

Food prices increased 10.1% from last January, the ninth-consecutive double-digit annual increase for that category.

Shelter costs, which includes rent and the cost of homeownership, increased 7.9%. That's the fastest annualized rate since 1982. Rent costs increased 8%, another new record.

January inflation hits 6.4%, missing analysts' expectations for a faster slowdown

/——-/ Thanks, Dementia Joe, we couldn’t have done it without you.

Remind me again, which party is in the White House, which party controls the Senate, which party controlled the House for the last two years?

Who controls the House now?
Republicans ran on fixing inflation, gas prices, the border

All they care about is Hunter Biden’s Laptop

Has the American people learned their lesson? Stop electing stupid shit Democrats FFS.

Democrats are the only ones who do things for the people
Now, if you disagree
Show me anything Republicans have done to help struggling families

/——-/ “Republicans ran on fixing inflation, gas prices, the border”
But Dementia Joe signed the Inflation Reduction Act, he’s bragging about falling gas prices and the WH sock puppet says the border is secure. So, what’s to fix?

Inflation continues to drop

That's not how it works and weirdly I think you know that...

Dude, no matter how fast you spin, those are not good numbers. This will just lead the Fed to raise the rates even more.

In related dumb ass Dem news, Dems are using their food stamps to purchase cases of water...they dump out the water and turn in the bottles for the 10 cent return fee to purchase drugs.

He knows that. I think half of RW's posts have no other intent than to rile up the extremes on the other side.

Drug addicts food stamps to purchase bottled water to recycle for cash

Drug addicts in Portland, Oregon have devised a scheme where they use food stamp benefits to buy cases of bottled water which they empty out to obtain a 10c bottle deposit refund to buy drugs with.

The govenrment caused them to not to get a good job?

That doesn't sound like personal responsibility to me.

The government created the problem, you keep dodging that fact, son.

 

[Lesh]

Sad that wages are in decline when inflation is added into the equation.

Can you document that?last I heard they were increasing

Document what? Wages increase 4.5% and inflation is at 6.4%.
This isn't hard to understand, Lesh.

 

[westwall]

Blaming the govenrment for their own failings?

The party of responsibility in action.

The government policies are the proximal cause.

Let's get rid of the government. They are useless at best, and harmful most of the time.

So wages and inflation are higher than previous. And inflation is coming down and wages are not?

Do I have that right?

Since Biden has been President?

In the last 40 years

I am not dodging it, I am ridiculing it.

Stop blaming the government for your issues.

The increase in wages is smaller than the the inflation number. w<I
