The dragon should be the size of a chameleon. The Fed has shrunk it from 9% to 3.4%. Inflation increased 0.3%, not really a “jump”. Is it a trend or just statistical noise? The republicans will try to make political hay out of this even though it’s not such a big deal.
Congratulations go to President Biden and the Fed for taming President Trump’s inflation and bringing us to a soft landing. That prices are still higher than before Trump caused oil prices to increase is the nature of inflation. After prices go up, they rarely come down.
But isn’t that their job, to raise interest rates to curb inflation, spike unemployment and CAUSE a recession? Preferably just before an election if there’s a democrat in the White House.
Hey all you Chicken Littles – the market has not paid any attention to this. And it is normally hyper-sensitive to anything that might even hint of higher interest rates. Got any explanation for that, or is Lisa grasping as straws, as usual?
People complaining about inflation while they wait in the drive-thru at Starbucks. Inflation was fueled (pun intended) by price-gouging by oil companies while they made record profits.
Inflation is down, unemployment is down – Lisa needs to get better sources; she could have gotten benefits from the “Research Methodology” class I took in college.
Quick trip to the grocery store today. I wish the Bidens had to cook their own meals and do their own grocery shopping. The cartoon is right on the button. The Feds are getting burned, and if you look at the Fed’s chess pieces (us) we are in flames as well. I buy for one, but I remember what food suction machines growing kids are. I can’t imagine how families are surviving. More and more of us are seeing the lies play out in our own kitchens, and we are sick of being treated like inanimate chess pieces.
bidenomics at it’s finest! It’s Amazing how decimating your main driver of the GDP causes inflation. Go figure? Oh, I see, that would take a Brain Scarecrow!
If you need to complain about something, complain about prices (something else Presidents have no control over). However, the overall national inflation rate is quite low. Label that dragon “cost of living” and you have a cartoon that actually illustrates something that affects us all. BTW, cool dragon.
Inflation was global, due to the pandemic ending, sixth grade social studies, supply and. Since 2022 the inflation is pretty much 100% corporate greed, now documented.
How dare you question glorious leader or his regime?!! Democrats would never lie, especially not for political reasons! They are holy and pure, everything the people could want in a kind, benevolent, peaceful government.
Besides. If the Democrats were to lie about something don’t you think the media would point it out? The media is not the Democrat’s propaganda machine. They aren’t like Pravda during the Soviet era! Of course not! Everything is great, everything is wonderful because democrats tell us so.
Sure, I’m paying almost double at the grocery store than what I did three years ago. Now fools would blame Trump, but I know it is really climate change.

Do you think the republicans will ever come up with a budget or do they want to continue to hold the USA hostage?
