Eric Boehlert debunked the "liberal press" trope for years before his tragic death, but I wouldn't expect someone who thinks "all they do is ask him about ice cream" to be the height of witty political discourse to actually read any of his articles.You should tell that to the sycophants in the press, who refuse to actually report on him.
Eric Boehlert wrote for Media Matters, and Salon. Both very partisan left-wing. That's like me, telling you that World Net Daily debunked his opinion, etc.; I'm sure you'd just say "uh, okay", and accept it as fact, right?Eric Boehlert debunked the "liberal press" trope for years before his tragic death, but I wouldn't expect someone who thinks "all they do is ask him about ice cream" to be the height of witty political discourse to actually read any of his articles.
Media Matters, sure. Salon, no. But that's irrelevant to the content of his media criticism. Address that if you can.Eric Boehlert wrote for Media Matters, and Salon. Both very partisan left-wing.
If you think WND is the same as Salon...That's like me, telling you that World Net Daily

I agree with you about using consistent terms; however, you can't call it bad messaging when people have lived through the worst inflation in 40 years and you point to the new number and say, "Look, it is getting better. Haven't I done a wonderful job!" Our memories just aren't that short. Same thing applies to gas prices. After hitting historic highs, saying they are now lower is disingenuous, since most of us can remember the high gas prices from a year ago. I don't place the blame solely on Biden; but a wise person would have foreseen the shocks to the economy coming out of COVID and tried to ameliorate them.For using the correct definition of economic terms?
I can see why right-wing messaging would want to portray accuracy as unbelievable, but that's not really a criticism of Biden.
What makes you think that he didn't try to ameliorate them? Do you think the after-effects of covid were worse here than elsewhere?I agree with you about using consistent terms; however, you can't call it bad messaging when people have lived through the worst inflation in 40 years and you point to the new number and say, "Look, it is getting better.

Ten months? We should be into negative prices.President Joe Biden claimed Friday that inflation has fallen for 10 straight months, just days after the Bureau of Economic Analysis announced that the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge rose in April.

You simply don't understand what is being said.Ten months? We should be into negative prices.
Seems all the stores in our town have not heard about this reduced inflation. I will be sure to tell the managers and wait to see if they reduce the prices.
These are just more Jedi Mind Tricks the are playing on the stupider among us.

Bolding a number doesn't make it more relevant.You can twist and turn these discussions all you want. But the people who pay for groceries at the checkout counter know the truth. Prices are still going up. And we will never go into negative inflation meaning that the prices are permanently up almost 20% over 3 years.
Value of $1 from 2019 to 2023
$1 in 2019 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $1.19 today, an increase of $0.19 over 4 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 4.44% per year between 2019 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 18.96%.
Try to make it sound better if you can. Smoke and mirrors. As they pile the national debt higher and higher, it is only going to get worse.

Exactly, inflation, (at 2-3%) is a feature in our Capitalist system.You simply don't understand what is being said.
The rate of inflation is about 4%; that is, prices in May are only 4% high than May 2022, rather than the 8% compasion rate earlier this year. The GOAL is for inflation to be at 2%. Yes, that means that prices should be going up every year.
I am not an expert on the economy; but from what I saw the COVID pandemic shutdowns were analogous to the world holding its breath. You have some reserves of goods. So the goods don't run out immediately; but you can only go on so long before you have to breath again. Unfortunately, many people don't plan to have a reserve of money for such times and they were left without a paycheck to buy whatever goods were available. So stimulus money at that time is needed to allow people to survive. It was completely predictable at that time that as the goods ran out there would be shortages. From a heartless economic viewpoint, the money and the goods should both run out and the inflationary pressure should be minimized. If you keep pumping money into the economy, you will have fewer and fewer goods being chased by more money and inflation is the result. As you can see, this is the worst of times, since opening the businesses back up causes faster spread of the disease; but keeping the businesses closed will eventually lead to starvation. Our saving grace was that the vaccine development happened much quicker than normal and we were able to start opening back up again before our economy completely tanked.What makes you think that he didn't try to ameliorate them?

You're confusing deflation with a drop in inflation.Ten months? We should be into negative prices.
