Joe Biden’s intern is happy to post this
Today’s report shows inflation down to 2.5% – continuing at the lowest level in over three years.
That's progress.
Prices are still too high. And Kamala and I are fighting to lower them by building 3 million homes, lowering drug costs, and investing in record energy production.

Wait, how is Brandon supposed to build 3 million homes by the end of January? They can’t even get 9 EV charging stations built. And no high speed internet hookups completed. As for inflation, he and Kamala helped cook it, and
No ‘Joy’ on Labor Day: Inflation Sends Cost of Cookouts Soaring
Americans are feeling less “joy” when firing up their grills and getting their marinades ready this Labor Day weekend, realizing that some of the classic barbecue staples are costing them a lot more.
It all begins with firing up the grill, which will cost more than it did three and a half years ago. According to data from the Bureau of Labor statistics, the price of propane, kerosene, and firewood has risen 16 percent from January 2021 to July 2024.
Staples of the basic all-American cookout are up too, meaning hamburgers and hotdogs are going to cost you. According to Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, the price of ground beef has risen 26 percent since January 2021, when former President Donald Trump left the White House.
Similarly, hotdogs are 25 percent higher than they were in January 2021. The price of chicken has also jumped since Biden and Harris came on the scene. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, not seasonally adjusted, shows the price of fresh and frozen chicken parts 23 percent higher now than when Trump left office in January 2021. Matters are worse if Americans are looking to roast a whole chicken for their long weekend, as a fresh whole chicken is up 27 percent since January 2021.
And if friends and family are forgoing low carb trends and want to pair their barbecue delicacy with a roll, it is going to cost even more. Fresh biscuits, rolls, and muffins in the U.S. have risen 28 percent since Biden and Harris took office.
Side dishes, spices, lettuce, salad dressing, and beer are all up. So, people can vote for a guy they hate who does well on the economy, understands how it works, and wants you to have better costs without the government controlling everything, or, the lady who supercharged the issues as the economy was re-opening.
Let us hope the stupid voter understands one major thing about inflation.
When prices escalate at 8-11 percent for 2-3 years, they never come back down. They sold them at xxx bucks, and they will continue to sell them at xxx bucks. So, the inflation index is always politically skewed by whoever is in the White House. One must remember that the president is in charge of the federal government, and that guy who is making 200k a year, figuring all that stuff out, wants to keep making 200k per year.
Secondly, prices not affected by inflation will also inflate.
Yes, you can buy a two-wheel drive, no-frills pickup truck for 40k. But the one you really want—a four-wheel drive with lots of bells and whistles that can pull your ten-ton trailer—is 80-120k today and will NEVER come back down.
Biden/Harris got what they wanted: Pricing Trucks out of the reach of normal Americans. People cannot afford homes now, so they are forced to rent, and more and more people have fallen into poverty because of the push to inflate salaries, which just inflated everything else. They are still making 7 bucks an hour even though one makes 18 bucks and the other makes 28 bucks per hour.
At this moment, the airwaves are full of AI-generated influencers singing Kamala Harris’s praises. I wonder if Trump and the GOP have caught up or if they will once again be crushed like they were by Obama’s team in 2007, which was at least a decade ahead of the GOP when it came to voting.
November will show us just how stupid the American voter is.
