Biden Says Economic Plan Is Working As July's CPI Shows Decrease In Inflation

If we have 0 Inflation, Why do we need a "Inflation Reduction Act"?

[willysbest]

Redefining numbers like you do words doesn't make reality any cheaper.

[dandaman]

Hopefully, the part-time summer jobs are NOT considered as a sign of a growing economy.

[krizagy]

What?? Zero inflation? What is he talking about? Same inflation as in June means strong inflation, not zero.

[jamiesmith]

So Core Inflation is when you ignore food and energy, 2 things going up a ton, and he says that without them then inflation is moderating. Well, I don't live in a bubble and I need to buy food and energy too. Stop trying to make me think you're solving all the problems when you're not. And don't Overton Window me by saying gas prices are coming down. They're still very high.

MSNBC: Biden says inflation decresed. Biden: We have zero inflation. Good job media machine.

[Infidel]

Please answer… If there was “zero inflation in July” than why is there the inflation reduction act?

[donsims]

LoL 😂 IMAGINE sucking SO BAD ! You'll brag " IT'S AS BAD AS IT'S BEEN IN 40 YEARS BUT I DIDN'T MAKE IT ANY WORSE LAST MONTH" 🤦😂😂😂😂

[gomerbiden]

Only 224 likes for the most popular president in history? Something don't add up.

[ericp]

WHERES all the fact checkers that would check trump? No where to be found

[tyronejackson]

Truth is people are running out of money and can't afford to spend anymore so prices stopped rising to fast.

[jennyjenny]

Did they change the definition of inflation
Like they did recession?

[primuspilus]

Once they manage his meds, he'll get it right. They still need to fine-tune the milligram dosage a little bit, but he's almost there.

[richyp]

Don't rush to conclusions just yet folks. Remember, Joe told us to believe the truth over facts.

[iconwest]

If we have 0% inflation, then why does Congress need to pass the "Inflation Reduction

[winstonsmith]

When the economy sucks, it's global. When it does well, it's because of Brandon. Got it.

[newguy]

0% is not a decrease, even if he wasn't bullshitting and inflating that "number" by releasing oil reserves to lower the price of fuel.

[davidmhale]

Economic plan is working ? Yet his bills haven’t even been passed yet. That’s hilarious

[DeltaFlare]

Changing definitions doesnt change reality

MSNBC: Struggling to get your jacket on and having to have your wife help you and then dropping your sunglasses is a sign of strength and leadership!
Also, falling off your bike and tripping up the stairs is totally normal.
