Check Out This Month’s Horrifying Inflation Breakdown By Consumer Products

Inflation numbers just came out and, once again, they weren’t good. Looks like the Inflation Reduction Act isn’t doing much to reduce inflation. Consumer prices increased 8.2% year over year, which was slightly down from August’s 8.3%. But monthly consumer prices went up more than expected, 0.4%. But the core CPI, or consumer price index, was the worst number. Worst in 40 years, in fact. It went up from 6.3% to 6.6%.

But what does that really mean to the layperson? It reflects the “average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumer for a market basket of consumer goods and services.” Basically, how is inflation affecting the products you actually spend your money on. Here’s a breakdown of what that looks like for the average American.

Side note, who knew inflation is sexist?! I sure didn’t. But look at the difference between women’s apparel and men’s apparel. Women already pay more for clothing and beauty products on average, and now the inflation is higher on those women’s products than they are on the already cheaper men’s products. Just an interesting observation.

Weirdly, Biden just said that a “key reason” he ran for President was to fight inflation, which wasn’t an issue until he took office and destroyed the economy. And Biden hilariously also just blamed future GOP politicians for the bad economy, saying that “if republicans win, inflation is going to get worse. It’s that simple.” It’s already worse. It’s WAY worse.

As a reminder, the real GDP was growing at 6.3%, inflation was at 1.4%, and gas was averaging $2.39 when Donald Trump left office two years ago. Now, we’re seeing consecutive quarters of negative GDP, inflation is up to 8.2%, and gas is averaging $3.91. They’re hoping you’re too stupid to notice.
