So, I presume you're looking forward to another increase in the inflation rate and the higher interest rates it causes, huh?R.Suave » 25 Jan 2024, 8:46 am » wrote: ↑ The US economy expanded in the fourth quarter by more than forecast, powered by resilient consumer spending that helped cap the strongest year of growth since 2021.

Current index: The consumer price index, or CPI, rose 0.3% in December after increasing 0.1% in November. The year-over-year increase was 3.4%.
The CPI measures the change in prices paid by U.S. consumers for everyday goods and services, like groceries, gas and rent. It’s calculated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and tracks real-world impacts of inflation on consumers. Every month, the BLS releases updated CPI data, showing monthly and annual changes in average prices.The most recent CPI report, released on Jan. 11, showed the index increased by 0.3% between November and December, and grew by 3.4% over the past 12 months
The current CPI report also found:
The cost of shelter rose 0.5% in December and was a major contributor to the rise in CPI this month. The shelter index is up 6.2% from the same time a year ago.
Higher prices for electricity and gasoline contributed to a 0.4% rise in the energy index in December. Over the past year, the energy index decreased 2%.
Food costs rose 0.2% in December. Prices for groceries (+0.1%) and restaurants (+0.3%) were both higher.
Core CPI — that is, all items less food and energy — rose 0.3% over the last month and 3.9% over the past 12 months.

Guess you weren't happy with the .1% inflation rate a few months after Biden took office and went on the kind of spending spree that a drunken sailor might be jealous of,
Apparently you're content to see the inflation rate rising again to 3.4% per month, since it's an improvement over the 9%+ rates Biden previously caused.
Awfully easy to satisfy you gullible liberals while covering up the massive failures of the corrupt and demented pedophile you voted for, isn't it?
And you can't retain it..
You never answer simple questions bitch boi
