Biden’s War on Everyday Americans Continues – Inflation Up 90% Over Fed’s Goal

Another month, another missed inflation goal, it would seem.

As is quite common under the Biden administration, consumer prices once again rose during the last month, seeing a 0.4 percent uptick, CNBC reported.

With February included, inflation is now up an outrageous 3.8 percent for the year — over 90 percent more than the 2 percent the Federal Reserve aims for.

According to Navy Federal Credit Union corporate economist Robert Frick, “Inflation continues to churn above 3 percent, and once again shelter costs were the main villain.

“With home prices expected to rise this year and rents falling only slowly, the long-awaited fall in shelter prices isn’t coming to the rescue any time soon,” he added.

Because of the missed goals, he believes that it’s unlikely for “the Fed to lower rates quickly.”

It’s beginning to seem like consistently missing the goal for inflation is the Biden administration’s trademark.

January also missed its inflation goal, rising by .3 percent, still more than what could have put the Fed on track to meet their inflation goals, according to Reuters.

Many are attempting to point out that inflation is cooling, compared to its record high in June 2022, but is doing better than terrible really that good?

Have you lost money since Biden took the White House?

Biden himself is attempting to parade what is normally bad news as a win with a statement from the White House claiming the president’s “top economic priority is lowering costs and today’s report shows we continue to make progress on that front.”

He even has to compare current inflation to May 2021, because if he dared to bring up the numbers from before his administration, his own numbers would look terrible.

According to Investopedia, under former President Donald Trump, the country saw an average yearly inflation percentage of 1.9.

That means that Joe Biden is currently doubling the inflation rate of his predecessor.

He can’t even blame COVID for his failures, as the pandemic was largely over when he took the White House.

Of course, they undoubtedly will blame COVID nonetheless as they used the disease, even well after the height of the issue was over, as an excuse to print trillions of dollars as reported by The Heritage Foundation.

As the report notes, even well after government-imposed restrictions began to be lifted and everyday life began to return, the Fed still felt the need to oversaturate the economy with new bills.

Nearly $2 trillion in “relief” was done in 2021, helping to lead to the record-high inflation that was witnessed.

The Biden administration has ultimately done nothing to handle inflation as it continues to ramp up.

Even his supposed golden goose that was meant to prevent inflation, the ironically named Inflation Reduction Act, has done the exact opposite.

As The Heritage Foundation’s research fellow, EJ Antoni, reported, that bill simply increased deficit spending and imposed energy taxes, neither of which dealt with the titled issue. On the contrary, it ushered in 40-year-high inflation.

And yet, the White House “has the audacity to gaslight the American people by not only minimizing the problem, but pretending to be part of the solution,” Antoni wrote.

“Until the breakneck pace of government spending comes down, we will continue to have elevated levels of inflation,” he concluded.

Despite everything the cognitively declining leader says or releases in a statement, inflation is continuing to hurt everyday Americans, and Biden’s policies are making the situation worse, not better.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
