AI Overview:

A GDP deflator higher than expected means that the prices of goods and services included in Gross Domestic Product are rising faster than anticipated. This indicates a higher rate of inflation than what was projected, potentially impacting economic growth and stability.
Where did you read that inflation is worse than ever? The last report I saw said it was a little below expectations at 2.4%. Sure, 2.0% would be nice and it might go up in the next report but by no means is 2.4% "worse than ever."

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
