Celebrating the Inflation Reduction Act

I would just like to thank President Biden, Secretary Yellen and the congressional leadership for helping to break the back of inflation. It was a team effort!


Job well done!

@NerdyPotato OK the CPI is not inflation.

And yet the Bureau of Labor Statistics which publishes it states:
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services.

How odd? You better have a talk with them and set them straight in the morning. Now have some warm milk, take your Lithium and go to bed.
@irishmolly72 There is nothing to set straight. CPI is a measure of average price changes. Inflation is the rate at which that average increases. That's not the same.

@NerdyPotato I know that rates and proportions were difficult concepts in math class. Keep trying, you'll get there eventually!
@irishmolly72 it's not that difficult, but I won't keep trying to explain because you're just not willing to understand. 🤷

See the truth. Admit that you're wrong about this. It's the healthy thing to do.
@irishmolly72 you should take that lesson yourself. 🙂

I can't convince you you're wrong. Events will have to do it for me.
