I just hear that China is counterfeiting U.S. Postage stamps, sold online. They even have claims that they are undetectable as counterfeits.

Last month, the White House Council of Economic Advisers released a note comparing inflation rates among the Group of 7 — the major advanced economies. https://www.whitehouse.gov/cea/written-materials/2023/06/27/apples-to-
apfel-recent-inflation-trends-in-the-g7
/

This is trickier than it might seem, because different countries measure consumer prices in different ways. In particular, the U.S. Consumer Price Index treats housing differently from the corresponding official measures of European nations, in ways that have caused U.S. inflation to seem more persistent than in some sense it really is. When the C.E.A. produced comparable numbers, they looked like this:



America is now a clear outlier, with inflation falling well below rates in other major economies. And this chart doesn’t include the most recent consumer price report, which showed a further decline in inflation and has probably widened the gap.

That's $8,508 more per year, for Democrats who don't now how Math works.

This is Bidenomics.

This article is hilarious, and this dumb woke bitch Tayo ain't going to change any of their minds writing shit like this for rich white self-hating Democrats.

You're losing the black community, Democrats.

And you deserve it. Racists.

Bidenflation Climbs To 17.0%, Hurting Americans

https://tippinsights.com/bidenflation-climbs-to-17-0-hurting-americans/

Quote:


- Bidenflation has reached 17.0%, indicating significant inflation under President Biden's policies

- Most Americans are concerned about inflation and a majority feel their wages have not kept up with rising prices

- Real wages have generally declined during President Biden's term, with a return to negative territory in September

- The U.S. economy is facing stagflation, marked by stagnant growth and high inflation



We're still lying and not calling this a recession even though we've been in one for a few years now, but at least we don't have leftist MORONS like Paul Krugman claiming that inflation is transitory anymore.

The Messenger: Real Inflation Is Higher Than Reported. One Shopper Has Proof

Quote:

This divergence between reported and real inflation helps explain Biden’s atrocious economic approval rating, which many liberal commentators argue is far worse than the official data warrant. Looking at these real price increases, it’s no wonder Americans are so sour on the economy.

Biden’s policies are responsible. Reckless spending in recent years, including the projected $1.7 trillion 2023 deficit, has led to too many dollars chasing too few goods, bidding up prices, and diluting the currency already in existence.

Congress must lend the Federal Reserve a hand in the inflation fight and cut government spending, to help shoppers make ends meet. Until then, pay attention to what ordinary Americans — not government statistics — are saying about inflation.
