The price level is now 4% higher than it would be if inflation had remained on its trendline.

The reason your heating bills will be higher is that you are too stupid to blame your fuel supplier rather than the Democrats. Your fuel supplier knows you are stupid, which is why your supplier can easily raise prices and then laugh at you all the way to the bank depositing your money.

Vegetarians will say they aren't paying more for meat, but . . .

Four of the biggest meat-processing companies, using their market power in the highly consolidated U.S. market to drive up meat prices and underpay farmers, have tripled their own net profit margins since the pandemic started.

Financial statements of the meat-processing companies - which control 55%-85% of the market for beef, poultry and pork - contradict claims that rising meat prices were caused by higher labor or transportation costs.

/

Increases in meat prices accounted for 25% of the rise in consumer prices for food consumed at home in November, a big driver in the surge in inflation seen in recent months.

Tyson increased the price of beef so much — by more than 35% — that they made record profits while actually selling less beef than before.

The companies didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

It's fun watching your hypocrisy just spill out all over the place as you scramble to run defense for your failed President* and his failed Presidency*

Don't bother dude. There are too many people dumber than you are. You can't even be the best at that.

Are you calling stupid the idea that Biden does NOT cause price increases in America because prices are also rising in places where Biden is NOT President?

Price rises aren't controlled by Presidents, but all the Trumptards I know in Texas are absolutely certain that the President controls prices, including control of the world price for petroleum. By the way, the world price and Texas price for petroleum are very close, with only small differences because of transportation and refining costs. Presidents have no control over crude prices and never will because crude can be shipped from anywhere to America. Coming from anywhere makes the price about the same everywhere in the world. https://www.thebalance.com/crude-oil-brent-versus-wti-808872

Is Biden President of the World? Because the World has inflation:

Inflation rate worldwide

Euro Area 4.1%
United Kingdom 4.2
India 4.48
Germany 4.5
Canada 4.7
South Africa 5
Spain 5.4
United States 6.2
Mexico 6.24
Russia 8.13
Brazil 10.67
Turkey 19.89
Argentina 52.1

https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/inflation-rate

Sometimes I forget what a moron you are - mostly because you neglect to sh!t up every sensible thread. But then you post such incredibly insipid drivel as this.
Do you really conjure that anybody except your demented Libtard buddies could believe that tiny Argentina with it's tiny economy is greatly affecting Global Inflation.

The largest economy on the globe is ours, USA. I'll make a table, with inflation, GDP, and a simple, rudimentary weighting score from multiplying the 2.
Table sorted by the weighted effect on Global Inflation.


G D P Infl Wghtd Nation
22.67 06.2 140.4 United States
05.37 09.0 048.3 Japan
16.64 02.3 038.3 China
00.38 52.1 019.8 Argentina
04.31 04.3 019.4 Germany
01.44 10.7 015.4 Brazil
00.72 19.9 014.3 Turkey
03.04 04.5 013.6 India
03.12 04.2 013.1 UK
01.48 08.1 012.0 Russia
01.88 04.7 008.8 Canada
02.93 02.8 008.2 France
01.28 06.4 006.9 Spain
01.80 03.7 006.7 Korea
02.10 02.9 006.1 Italy
00.30 05.0 001.5 South Africa

USA has greater effect on World Inflation, and more than 7 times the effect of all but 2 other nations.
Your assertion that the tail is wagging the dog is bunk.

The economy of USA is so massive that it requires catastrophic destruction to flip it from the success of Trumponomics to the return to Obomanomics 3.0 - no other nation has the influence to worsen Obiden's disaster. But Libtard Democraps will bring down the economies of the world.

If Trump told OPEC not to pull any shit, they'd listen to him.

When Biden begs OPEC to lower gas prices they say Fuck Joe Biden.



It's also the "green" policies the US and the EU have dived headfirst into that are the reason we have zero reserves right now.

EU is "willing" to pay those high prices because they fucked themselves and if they don't pay them then they will all freeze to death over the winter.


Food goes up along with everything else when everything else goes up in price. Especially gas, which everybody needs to pay for and which drives the costs of everything else up.

Well, no. Many people don't actually buy volumes of gas. That is why Libtards like being anonymous city slickers, so they can have trains, buses, elevators, cabs.

Nobody is claiming that brain-dead Biden* is sitting there in the Oval Office and raising all of the prices of everything himself. It's the horrible policies that Democrats are passing that are making everything rise.

And seriously. Fix the fucking shipping problem already. What the literal fuck.


You're a fucking idiot, Second.

It sure doesn’t look like high inflation is a permanent thing



In the New York Times today, economist Glenn Hubbard says, "We Need to Do Hard but Necessary Things to Tackle Inflation." Uh oh, I thought. What horrible things is he proposing?

The Fed must begin tapering asset purchases more aggressively now. In recent weeks, Mr. Powell has signaled a willingness to double the pace of the taper to $30 billion a month — a move he should make in this week’s meeting of Fed officials.

....The Fed should also raise its benchmark federal funds rate in early 2022. This is a short-term interest rate at which banks borrow and lend reserve balances with one another. He should also be prepared to make further adjustments should macroeconomic conditions, including broader and longer-lasting inflation, demand it.

That's it? Reduce asset purchases—something the Fed is already likely to do—and raise interest rates by a quarter point or so a few months from now? If this is all Hubbard thinks we need to do, he must not think the current bout of inflation is very serious at all.

What does that have to do with anything?

They're still buying shit all day long with their Prime membership and food at the grocery store. They certainly aren't out hunting their own food and growing it.

Does this stuff all magically appear at the grocery store and on their doorstep?
