So VP Walz misspoke but CNN says Trump lied when he said Biden left 85 Billion worth of equipment overseas and it was 83 Billion Humm! Ok for Democrats to lie and misspeak but not Republicans. You foolish democrats enjoy your socialist/communist country when Harris wins and they end the Republic and make us a wicked democracy! When the inflation goes up 200% overnight enjoy it you fools!!

Eye roll emoji

Catastrophize much?

Why would inflation go up consequentially if Harris gets elected, when Harris' policies will closely emulate Biden's and inflation has been going down for over 2 years?

I think Trump is a colossal moron but even I don't portend of the end of the Union if he's President the next four years. If he is, we'll just have some **** to fix after that.

---

By what metric is inflation "down"? The rate of inflation is still going strong circa 3% and it's precisely for that reason that the Fed is holding the line on rate cuts. And that's on top of all the inflation that has been baked in since the seven trillion dollar money creation event of 2020.

---

3% on a severely inflated 3 prior years. Take a price, on dang near anything, when Trump left office, and compare it to today. That is the story that people are living. They are not living today's inflation rate. It's the compounded amount of inflation.

---

Since you guys are clearly experts on inflation, enough to be vocally outraged about it, maybe you could tell us how much wages have gone up over the last three years?

And then maybe tell us how we survived hamburgers no longer costing a nickel. And then maybe explain what our target inflation rate is and why many economists believe is should be closer to 3% anyway. And then for good measure explain to everyone how "deflation" can actually be more damaging than inflation, which is why we have a target inflation rate in the first place.

The fed is going to drop rates imminently because the inflation rate of 2.5% - 3% is about where they want it to be.

And nobody ever claws back baked-in cost increases from periods of higher inflation. That's a pointless argument. To accomplish this, you'd need deflation, which no one wants.

---

Actually, we might need some deflationary actions to get things back in order...

Yep, that baked in inflation (the enormous increase) happened with Biden. And, no, the wage increases have not kept up with inflation, so, real incomes are going down. Sorry to hurt your feelings...

My wife had a step increase for years of employment. A set percentage her union negotiated about 5 years ago. It has not increased in the same pace as inflation. My disability is based on CPI-W. And if they used today's cpi-w rate to determine the cola increase for next year. It is 2.9% even though inflation is what 3.2% or somewhere around there? So my "pay" is also not keeping up with inflation.

---

Because it's brought on by decreased spending and reduced demand, which diminishes the value of assets we already own (houses, cars). People defer spending decisions because their incomes have been harmed and/or they're waiting to purchase later when prices come down more, which further reduces demand, which weakens the job market, which then spikes unemployment, etc.

Deflation turns into a massive economic negative feedback loop.

None of us want that just so we can say we're paying less for gas and Cheerios.

Forbes: What is Deflation?

The obviously better alternative is moderate inflation and wage growth that tracks with it or exceeds it (which is exactly what we've had the last 18 months).

It's funny how Civ, and that other person, tries to contend that inflation has settled down…

If so, why this campaign slogan?

“When I am president, it will be a day one priority to fight to bring down prices…”

She could have done it while VP. She was the deciding vote for the inflation reduction act which did nothing but increase spending & continued high levels of inflation.
