Other than 1 factor inflation is under control That is what the Core indicator is and is a key tool used by the Fed.
Reading is not a strong suit of pj
Remember when the usual suspects here were predicting 10%+ inflation

So you think 2.6 is "under control", good to know. What 3.3 stat does show is exactly where the "out of control" inflation is--and it is the Trump inflation tax.

Where were your comments when the inflation was 7% under YOUR corrupt brain dead President?

Certainly not with you. You blamed Biden for what was an international phenomenon resulting from a quicker bounce back in demand than crimped supply chains could supply. All you have to do is review inflation in virtually all developed countries at that time. Of course, that would take some effort and would result in you seeing that Biden could not be responsible for inflation in countries as diverse as Gremany, Chile, and Japan. It was much easier to willfully confuse the correlation between Biden's term and inflation, rather than finding the causation between COVID supply chain disruption and inflation.
Now, the correlation between Trump's attack on Iran and current inflation, happens to be, in this case, also the causation as well. So, no I can find no causation between Biden's policies as President and COVID induces inflation; conversely Trump is quite proud his "total and complete victory" over Iran--and the resulting 40% increase in oil prices.
Consumer confidence has never been lower. NEVER BEEN LOWER.

That's been explained to you multiple times, and you know it.

It is good to dig into the context and liberals like to look at a single stat without the context. The Core inflation rate is a govt stat and shows the context of inflation
Funny tom talking about digging into the context, he, along with CharlesIII and Boilerman, claimed the Inflation Reduction Act increased inflation. tom made a few one-sentence posts saying that the IRA increased inflation but I didn't grab any, and he never answered me when I asked how it increased inflation. Here are a couple of examples:

Exactly Legislation like:
American Rescue Plan 1.9 trillion.
Infrastrucure and Jobs Act 1.2 trillion.
So called Inflation Reduction Act.1.2 trillion.

The Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law in August 2022. Here's a graph of US inflation rates by month after it was enacted:"
The graph won't post anymore, but here's a list of monthly inflation rates from August to 2022.
Sorry for the long post.

Looks like Biden reduced inflation

mark "forgot" to inlcude that core inflation is 2.6% which excludes the short term spike in energy.
It's funny, when Biden was President, MAGA pointed to overall inflation, and the liberals quoted core inflation. Now the liberals are quoting the overall inflation numbers, and MAGA is quoting core inflation.
All of this played out right here in the Sink. Check your bias at the door, guess not!
Was it really a coincidence?
Here are the provisions; none of which reduced inflation, but increased spending
Addressing domestic energy security and climate change, including funding for drought resiliency in western states – $783 billion
Continuing for three more years the expansion of Affordable Care Act subsidies originally expanded under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 – $64 billion
Changes to Medicare Part D, low-income subsidies, vaccine coverage, and insulin – $44 billion[
Increased funding for the IRS for modernization and increased tax enforcement, including the hiring of up to 87,000 new IRS employees – $80 billion[4

Did the IRA reduce inflation? Is that what you're asking? OF COURSE NOT. The point you're trying to avoid is that it did not increase inflation like you, CharlesIII, and Boiler kept claiming it did.
Thoughts? (This is where you disappear, you can't handle my logic.)
