Inflation

[Green_Mountain]

This thread is dedicated to facts about inflation.

Trump’s Second Term (Jan 2025–present): Inflation has been relatively low, with an annualized rate of approximately 1.4%–1.6% through June 2025. In March 2025, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed a 0.1% month-over-month decline, the first in nearly five years, with a year-over-year rate of 2.4%. This reflects cooling prices in areas like gasoline (down 10.3% year-over-year) and some goods, though food prices (e.g., meats, poultry, fish) rose 3.1% annually.

Biden’s Term (Jan 2021–Jan 2025): Inflation averaged 4.95% annually, with a cumulative increase of about 19.4%–20.1% over the term. It peaked at 9.1% year-over-year in June 2022, the highest in 40 years, driven by post-COVID supply chain issues, the Russia-Ukraine war, and the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan. By August 2024, inflation had cooled to 2.5%, but prices remained elevated compared to pre-Biden levels.

Comparison:Trump’s second term shows significantly lower inflation (1.4%–1.6% annualized) compared to Biden’s average (4.95%).

But, but, but, DRUMPF promised to lower prices......

Fucking ADUH!

I just commented in another thread that is useless presenting facts to someone with a political bias that refuses to accept them because of political hate, alone.

Good luck trying.




Call me a WHAMBULANCE, because DRUMPF can't make McDs sell me a 15 cent burger, WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Also fact, I saw regular gas at 3.09 a gallon today, the best price I've seen since Bidens highs, of over 5 for regular, and over 6 for Premium.

Great job Democrat Joe Biden.

“The worst month for inflation under President Joe Biden was June 2022, when the year-over-year inflation rate, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), reached 9.1%. This was the highest inflation rate in over 40 years”

2.48 a dozen eggs.

Realistically far under Bidens prices.

It's critical right now to raise interest rates, people are spending too much money.

I know, you thinks it's punitive, but people need to learn to live within their means.

Can’t make this up.

The official Dem account on X with 2.3 million followers posts a graph of grocery inflation from 2021 and calls it Trumps America.

The problem is Biden and Kamala were in office during the huge run up in grocery prices and the graph posted clearly shows that.

Dems are as dumb as a box of rocks, a self-own and TDS tries to blame it on 47.

Curious - what is the lag time on prior administrations vs immediate credit for the pluses but all denial of anything negative.

Not impunining the current situation to being one of the past or current administration but to consider what's the reality of things. I'd say the lag is literally a year on either side regardless, but just my 2 cents
