Go past the sensational headline.

Florida's inflation rate was driven up by housing costs in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area (up 9%). Eliminate that and we are at par with the national norm.

People are moving out of those poorly ran cities/states and want to come here, Texas, Nashville, and others. If you own a house in Florida you will reap the benefits over time. The best thing about this migration is these people are leaving their old ideology at their last place of residence and not bringing it here. DeSantis won by a few thousands of votes 4years ago, but this time with millions of more people here in Florida, he won by millions of votes

Wrong again! Do some legitimate research. National inflation is 4%, Florida is at 9%. Highest homeowner's insurance premiums in the country. Don't tell me because of hurricanes. There are weather and climate disasters all over our country but Florida has ridiculous homeowner's insurance premiums because of insurance industry greed and lack of State leadership.

FYI: national average cost of fuel one year ago was about 4.75. Current national average is about 3.65. Six months ago it was around 3.35.
Go figure eh?

Recent WSJ article noted that with housing and used car prices coming down, that should help inflation numbers.

How many/often houses and used cars does an average person buy in a year? Five years? The two things most care about would be food and energy (gas/electric/gasoline). Most everything else can be curtailed or forgone entirely in some cases (do you really need a new TV, or do you just want one?).

The week Joe Biden took office it was $2.29 (according to USA Today). So who bumped it up to $4.75? And now the administration is taking credit for getting it "down" to $3.35?

Be prepared for prices to go up more for insurance as another company leaves the state. Legislature and governor have done nothing to fix. Groceries are going to rise as workers leave state due to legislation passed that is causing migrant farm workers to leave state. $10 million in budget to bus & fly workers out of state. How about giving homeowners a relief with that money. Give citizens relief that are still suffering from past storm damage. Stop the politics and help the citizens of this state and country.
