Annual inflation via BLS just out:
42.9% airline fares
33.1% utility gas
30.5% eggs
18.2% gasoline
17.2% chicken
15.7% coffee
15.2% milk
14.7% bread
10.1% furniture
9.2% vegetables
8.2% all items
8.2% fruit
8.1% ham
7.6% women apparel
7.2% used cars
6.7% rent
3.7% men apparel— Ryan Struyk (@ryanstruyk) October 13, 2022
What can be done if you’re a Biden economic adviser who backed everything that made this problem so bad? Lie like crazy!
Grabien News founder Tom Elliott kicks off the gaslight-a-palooza with WH adviser Brian Deese:
WH Chief Gaslighter @BrianDeeseNEC on accelerating inflation: "We're making progress … We just have to – we just have to stay at it. We have policies that are going to make a difference. We have policies that have already made a difference. We just have to stay the course" pic.twitter.com/3Rc3ZdIwEy

Jared Bernstein continued the “ALL IS WELL” spin on Fox News today:

Yikes! If this is the “right direction” we wouldn’t mind a little bit of what the Biden White House would consider the “wrong direction.”
The gaslighting flame turned all the way up today. https://t.co/6JMhzbRbxJ

On Fox News, Biden continuing to tout the “Inflation Reduction Act” got deservedly mocked:
"You can't make this stuff up. It's the most obvious political mistake this administration has made…he's going in exactly the opposite direction…I don't know how anybody can believe anything he says anymore about inflation."@HARRISFAULKNER @DavidAsmanfox pic.twitter.com/9L17NS8Bup

It’s so maddening (not to mention insulting).
