Inflation has experienced a slight decline as of the most recent data. It increased by 9.1%t both last month and this month, and it has improved by 8.5% this month.
The gasoline price decrease is probably a significant contributor to this phenomenon.
Therefore, a realistic explanation would be that we are still being crushed by inflation and that there are still alarming indications.
However, people know that certain leftist media outlets are already attempting to portray this as a “victory” for Joe Biden.
However, if they look at these stats, they have no right to celebrate like it’s a victory lap.
Biden is not just engaging in self-congratulatory behavior; with what he is stating about the inflation statistics right now, he is sinking into a complete and utter lie. Because it didn’t increase as much as the previous month, he and his staff are basing their assertion that there was “zero inflation” on that fact.
Talk about putting someone entirely under the influence of gaslighting. Even calling it “gaslighting” is being too charitable; it is an outright falsehood. The fact that people know it’s a lie and that they can feel it in their wallets means that doing that is not only not going to assist them, but it’s simply going to make people even more irritated with them.
He stated that the inflation statistic “underscores the sort of economy we have been constructing.” If by a muddled economy he means one that continues to pressure people, then he is responsible for that mess.
It was not simply a slip by the regularly confused President; it is now an inexcusable new talking point, with both the White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre supporting the false claim and the White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain going on a retweet blitz of any tweets that propagate the falsehood.
This is analogous to how they informed Americans that citizens ought to be celebrating a decline in gas prices, even though prices are still far higher than when Trump was in office. People are only meant to ignore all aspects of reality and comply with whatever their leaders tell them.
They altered the meaning of the word “recession,” and now they are working to change the meaning of the word “inflation.” They lack any sense of shame.
