That's _false_. *Prices* have increased by 19.3%. Inflation is a rate of price
growth *per year*. The highest inflation got in the last four years was a little
over 8%.

Wages are growing faster than inflation:

About time. Now bring it up to date, with data from 1 June forward,
since that article's not been updated to current.

For that here's the annualized data points from the prior citation for
you to finish the math on:

June 2024: wages +5.3%; inflation +3% = +3.3% NET higher wages
July 2024: wages +4.7%; inflation +2.9% = +1.8% NET higher wages
Aug. 2024: wages +4.6%; inflation +2.5% = +2.1% NET higher wages

Plus beyond that cite:
September 2024: wages +4%; inflation +2.4% = +1.6% NET higher wags

Plus if your point is to attribute inflation to elections, then you need
to recognize that election day, not inauguration, is when the business
uncertainly was removed and conditions started to change - even before
there were any new policies enacted. This means to count from November
2020, not January 2021 (or February 2021, depending on if they counted
all of January for 1/20/21, interpolated or simply started on 2/1).

The data here is that wages outstripped inflation by 2% annualized in
Nov & Dec 2020:

Nov 2020: wages +3.7%; inflation +1.2% = +2.5% NET higher wages
Dec 2020: wages +3.4%; inflation +1.4% = +2.0% NET higher wages
Jan 2021: wages +3.4%; inflation +1.4% = +2.0% NET higher wages
Feb 2021: wages +3.4%; inflation +1.7% = +1.7% NET higher wages

Finally, the other question is how much time should one grant for wages
to catch up to inflation? Because we know that they invariably lag.

Which is also why one has the metric of Real Median Personal Income,
which is an "after inflation" metric. As of Aug 2024, it was 2% better
than it has ever been.

Plus there's also the other point that you're remaining silent on:

Rudy, inflation is the change in price over time.. could be a week, a month,
a year, several years, decades or longer.

The fact is under Biden, Americans became poorer because of the inflation
that occurred under his administration.

They plonk me for the same reason. Pothead especially NEVER engages in dialog

This is a clear trait of drive by trolls whose job is to post outrageous lies

Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine

Four more reasons to not vote for Trump in 21 days.

46) Trump tried to shut down the Mueller investigation by ordering
White House counsel Don McGahn to fire Mueller. McGahn refused
because that would be criminal obstruction of justice.

47) Trump ordered his staff not to turn over emails showing Don Jr.
had set up a meeting at Trump Tower before the 2016 election with
representatives of the Russian government.

48) Trump convinced Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about Trump's
plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, and Cohen served prison
time for lying to Congress.

49) Trump was not charged for criminal obstruction of justice
because it's the Justice Department's policy not to indict a
sitting president. But more than a thousand former federal
prosecutors who served under both Republicans and Democrats
signed a letter declaring there was more than enough evidence
to prosecute Trump.

Yet currently, wages are growing faster than inflation. Again, since you
haven't got it over the past thirty or so years of economic discussion, wage
growth, like employment rates, are a lagging indicator.

Great.. we're going to need it to pay our taxes if Kamala gets elected.

"On a gross basis, we estimate that Vice President Harris's proposals would
increase taxes by about $4.1 trillion from 2025 to 2034. After taking
various credits and tax cuts into account, Harris would raise about $1.7
trillion over 10 years on a conventional basis,"

First, let's compare the articles.

Reuters: "WASHINGTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) - U.S. consumer prices rose slightly
more than expected in September amid higher food costs, but the annual increase
in inflation was the smallest in more than 3-1/2 years, keeping the Federal
Reserve on track to cut interest rates again next month."

Yahoo: "Grocery prices rise again in September, candy prices expected to remain
elevated ahead of Halloween"

Gateway Pundit: "BREAKING: Inflation Rises in September – Food Prices Surge –
Auto Insurance Prices Soar"

Notice the dramatic language; "surge" and "soar". Then read the articles and
note that after posting a series of tweets and dramatic looking graphs from Zero
Hedge, we finally get to this from Fox Business:

"The Labor Department on Thursday said the consumer price index (CPI) – a broad
measure of how much everyday goods like gasoline, groceries and rent cost – rose
0.2% in September from the prior month and was up 2.4% from a year ago.

"Economists predicted that inflation would slow to 2.3% on an annual basis with
it rising 0.1% from last month, according to estimates by economists surveyed by
LSEG.

"So-called core prices, which exclude more volatile measurements of gasoline and
food to better assess price growth trends, were up 0.3% on a monthly basis and
3.3% compared to a year ago – slightly higher than economists’ expectations of
0.2% and 3.2%, respectively."

Note that Fox uses the labor department as it's source while GP is pushing 0H.

What it all boils down to is that inflation has faded to near target but didn't
drop quite as much as expected.

You know why?

Strong consumer spending. If consumers weren't spending and confident in what
they're spending, there would be no inflation at all.

Bottom line: The economy remains strong and consumers have money to spend.

Did you say "we"? So who is this "we" that's making $400K+?
You and Vallor?

Which also states (relevant to you):

"The bottom 60 percent of earners would see increases in after-tax
income in 2025."

and:

"After-tax income for the bottom quintile would increase by 16.5
percent, largely from expanded tax credits."

Now put this into context of the alternative, which is Trump's tax plan.
Why are you suddenly no longer worried at all about the National Debt?

Read it again, scumbag little man Jonathan D Ball...you are no more than
a failed solar city installer and Suckramento bungalow trash pretending
to be Phil Hendrie, but giving blow jobs at the TA glory Hole and
ducking fights at the Jolly Kone like you always do...

Explain why are you death threat prosecution exempt by the Feds so far?

And after _so many_ public death threats you issued on Trump and Vance...

Let's do our best to change that, shall we:

PHOENIX –David Michael Hanson, 41, of Phoenix, was arrested on Wednesday
for making online threats against the President and Vice-President.
Hanson was charged by Federal criminal complaint on Tuesday with five
counts of Threats Against the President and Successors to the Presidency
and five counts of Interstate Communication of Threats.

The complaint alleges that in November and December of 2023, while
living in Arizona, Hanson used a social media platform to post threats
to murder the President and Vice President of the United States. On
November 19, 2023, Hanson posted online a series of threatening
statements including one that stated, “#joeAndKamala I’m asking you to
resign on Monday your alternative is death brutally murdered.” After the
U.S. Secret Service spoke to Hanson and warned him that it was a Federal
crime to post such threats, on December 23, 2023, Hanson posted another
series of similar threats aimed at the President and Vice-President.

Good. Let's see how much of it she can divert into deficit reduction. We
already know Republicans implement big deficits and high levels of debt.

NP: Beatles - Something.

Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine

Four more reasons to not vote for Trump in 19 days.

50) Trump said he'd hire only the best people in the world.
But his campaign chair was convicted of multiple crimes.
So was one of his closest associates. His deputy campaign
chair pleaded guilty to crimes. So did his personal lawyer,
his national security adviser, the chief financial officer of
his business campaign, a campaign foreign policy adviser, and
one of his campaign fundraisers. They all committed crimes and
Trump pardoned most of them!

51) Trump said he'd drain the swamp in Washington, D.C. but he
appointed more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls to his
administration than any administration in history.

52) Trump intervened to get his son-in-law, Jared Kushner,
Top Secret clearance after he was denied over concerns about foreign influence.

53) Trump hosted a Russian foreign minister in the Oval Office
where Trump revealed top secret intelligence.

54) Trump promised that the average American family would see
a $4,000 pay raise because of his tax cuts for the wealthy and
big corporations. Well, how did that work out? Did you get a
$4,000 raise? Of course not! Nobody did!
