For my part, I am not blaming either one. We were in the middle of a world-wide pandemic that was killing millions of people. We were suddenly thrust into that, we didn't have all the answers, it was the first pandemic in 100 years, it was uncharted territory. Yes, we still have some inflation, which is coming down. I think we have fared remarkably well based on fighting a pandemic that killed 1 million Americans.
The CPI numbers released today show more progress, and new highs again on Wall Street. FYI-insurance rates are factored into the CPI, in fact in the month of May, they fell by 0.5% according to the numbers.

Yes, but that would be 1 million Americans died WITH a positive COVID test, not necessarily FROM COVID.
PS: GO YANKEES!!!!
