    Like it wasn't already priced in. You're all behind the curve. Inflation isn't the problem, it's the recession. What what will happen by the fall of this year.

    Given the actual rise in prices consumers have experienced the last couple years, these numbers have been an absolute joke.

    Whining about recessions is for people who don't understand economic cycles. Recessions are a natural part of the economic cycles. Governments cannot stop them. Artificially keeping rates low inevitably lead to booms followed by inevitable greater busts. Countries would be better off if government would never finagle with interest rates and let markets determine rates

    any numbers the gov puts out are all false to meet their agenda.

    like @Aisone said an absolute JOKE.

    i see why we are failing in the usa so many people are just stupid it's hopeless and far beyond their heads to understand whats happening.

    Exactly. Too many dummies believing the inflation numbers the government puts out that they pulled out of their asses. These are the sheep that will not see what is coming to them.

    Government definitely can stop recessions. Australia embraced explosive population growth which allowed it to avoid recessions for 30 years.
    Recent American innovation illegal immigration plus 3 trillion deficits also stop recessions.
    Tweaking how inflation measured another way
    So if government determined recessions will never happen

    Take it to an extreme. Assume inflation was 1000% one year and now it's zero. Do you celebrate?

    Not counting shrinkflation. With shrinkflation included, the inflation rate is like 50-60%. LOL Of course, the Feds don't look at shrinkflation.

    Think a celebration might be a bit premature.

    NYMEX Unleaded made a 3 month high as well as the CRB Index hit a 2 month high yesterday.
