But why doesn’t anyone in DC to want to admit it?
Stock prices and commodity prices are down across the board. Souring gas prices, and inflation is at an all-time high since 1981.
Before 2022, the CPI (consumer price index) hadn’t gained more than 8.3% on a year-over-year basis since 1982. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, was up 0.6% on a monthly basis and 6.2% from a year ago. Food prices rose 1.2% month over month and 10.1% compared with a year ago.
