Just a week ago, expert Tom Nichols shook his head at a Wall Street Journal poll showing 74 percent of Americans thought inflation was heading in the wrong direction. How could so many Americans be so wrong?
WSJ poll: 74 percent of registered voters think inflation is headed in the wrong direction.

There is no reasoning with this many people being this wrong. It's not possible to shovel against that tide.https://t.co/4HkULAL0iM
Fast-forward a week, and the August inflation report is out, showing that consumer prices rose 3.7 percent. Isn't that the wrong direction?
JUST IN - U.S. inflation rises to 3.7% in August, from 3.2% in July.

JUST IN: US inflation was 3.7% (y/y) in August, a larger than expected increase from 3.2% in July. This underscores the challenges w/getting inflation down more.

Gas was the biggest factor accounting for over half the increase. Shelter (especially rent) also a big factor. pic.twitter.com/UdOujyLGfz
Another month, another bad inflation report from @JoeBiden.

Once again, inflation is ⬆️ and real wages are ⬇️.
Americans can’t afford any more “Bidenomics.”https://t.co/ombRjYlnJW
It's Bidenomics at work!

Anyone that says inflation isn't a massive problem does not go to the grocery store.

Pundits who get all their dinners and groceries delivered to their door don’t understand why the delivery drivers working 3 jobs claim to be struggling.

As Biden just canceled oil and gas leases in Alaska…

Reportedly, rising gas prices are what drove up the inflation number.
But I’ve been told that inflation is decreasing, #Bidenomics is working, and I have no idea what is really happening to my dwindling paycheck
