WASHINGTON, D.C. — With criticism mounting regarding the rate of inflation and the increased cost of basic necessities, the White House announced that inflation is actually doing great if you just hold the chart upside down.
Though families and small businesses have fought to stay above water in a down economy, the Biden administration notified everyone that the stress caused by looking at the rate of inflation could be easily solved by looking at the chart from the opposite direction.
“Problem solved,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. “We know the American people are very concerned about rising prices on goods and services, but as you can clearly see in this helpful graph when you turn it upside down, the arrow is actually going down. So from that perspective, inflation is actually dropping rapidly. You’re welcome, America.”
Media members who were gathered for the daily press briefing marveled at how quickly the administration had solved the inflation crisis. “President Biden can really work magic,” said one reporter. “Only moments before, that chart looked quite grim, but by offering the simple solution of turning it upside down, it’s obvious that inflation is actually plummeting. Only the Biden administration can provide this type of quick, easy, and effective solution.”
When asked if flipping the chart upside down would actually reduce the price of food for struggling families, Jean-Pierre responded, “No comment” and sprinted out of the room.
At publishing time, the White House had also announced that running video footage of the Ukraine-Russia conflict in reverse actually makes it look like Ukrainian cities are being rebuilt.

Inflation is a hidden tax.
Nothing hidden about it – it’s a right in your face tax.
Until you get audited. Then it’s a “straight up your ass” tax.
it’s, uhh… not so hidden anymore.
Post office announced the 73 cent postage stamp coming in July. Can Donald Trump reverse this monster inflation?
Not sure but he has already LOCKED-FUCKING-DOWN the USSA and is the proud father of “Big, Beautiful Vaxxines.”
In the final analysis it is NOT a money issue.
BTW does anyone know if the new stamp going to feature a coloured person or a tranny?
I read one of the new stamps will feature Caitlin Clark, the women’s basketball player. Never know the “other” Caitlyn Jenner may be recognized as well in mug along with Donald Trump depicting an escort to any restroom in Trump Tower Caitlyn so wishes to occupy.
Oh I agree, it’s not primarily a monetary thing, despite his record deficits and MIC spending. The MIC keeps it in the family.
Trump had his foot on the accelerator his entire presidency.
This clown is barely moderating government shill numbers. Fact check you with what, shill?
I’ve only read the beginning of this, but Denninger seems to have dug into the CPI report a bit https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=251106 Key takeaway: “Core, all items less food and energy, was also up 0.4, which annualizes to 4.91%.” Looks like rate cuts may be off the table for many months at least. Biden has sad.
Also “What’s equally-bad if not worse is that car repair and maintenance is up 8.2% over the last year as well “. That’s what Eric Peters was talking about. Between EV repairs and plastic cars, it’s getting expensive.
“I Cannot Afford To Live”: Americans Get Emotional As The U.S. Economy Goes Off The Rails
Last week, a TikTok user posted an angry rant about the cost of living that’s since been viewed 5 million times on the platform, with tens of thousands of comments and shares.
I am sure that printing another 61 billion for Ukraine will make inflation go down……
Everybody knows Trump will stop the unnecessary spending.

“I love debt. I’m the king of debt.”
Donald Trump
He’s the king of something. Of that I have no doubt.
A few days ago she actually called the bridge in Baltimore the “Francis Scott King” bridge. She’s an Ivy League grad don’t you know.
Old news but yeah
Meh. Relax. The program is not influenced by the likes of you. You’re a freaking speck for heavens sake. You got bup-fucking-kus, sport. Now get back to work and pay your taxes ya piece of crap.
See how it works?
Do you?
Old news too. Doesn’t fit on this post, but should fit anywhere. Targeting does exist. May keep posting. Fuck them.
Thank God that’s a two way street. Stay in your lane, Feds! I see that side eye, glowie. Keep steppin!
I hope you’re calling him a glowie and not me. If you are calling me one, I will only ask, “Project much?” Apology if I’m misunderstanding.
Looks like The Bee is easing off the throttle a little. They’re back on comfortable ground. They were giving reality a run for it’s money the last month or so.
I wonder if this is just reality catching up with the USA that has been exploiting the world since the late 19th century, instead of developing its own resources.
