on inflation numbers. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/infl...-slowest-pace-in-3-months-125909818.htmlNothing beats the Fox guarding the henhouse scenario ie. Gov. agency reporting the inflation numbers. Should be an independent organization not accountable to Uncle Sam.

Funny I thought the same thing. Nothing has gone down. Bill O'Reilly said it last night that everything has risen in price except one thing since FJB got installed. Prescription meds hasn't gone up!

Funny how when you're falling down a mountain you'll hit a shelf or flatter area and you slow down some, just a bit . . . but, you're still falling down the mountain.

They are saying the numbers are down relative to the past 3 months.
That's like the front half of your canoe hanging dry over the waterfall and saying "Hey, the current is really slowing down here!"

Just took my mom and nephew who is in town for a few days to lunch. 3 sandwiches with fries and drinks, with the tip I forked over $70. Son of a B!

A trip to the grocery store a couple of days ago tells me that's BS. I was actually eyeballing the Bud Light due to the lower price. Sad deal.

Those numbers, just like employment numbers, always get revised. And they always go in the wrong direction.

Those numbers are the "CORE Inflation" which doesn't include food or energy....ha!
Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone elses.

Let's see.
In November of 2020, unleaded gas was $1.89, now it's $3.49.
Yep, about 7% sounds right.
