The good news, is that the inflation rate has been in decline for the past 12 months, consecutively, and hit 3% as of the end of June.
CPI under Biden is up 15% and wages are up 11%. You have lost 4% of you purchasing power under Biden policies. Inflation was less than 2% throughout the previous administration. You might want to fill up your car today because oil is now at $77 a barrel up from under $70 just a few weeks ago.?
