As absolutely no one expected, inflation data like the consumer price index rose in August. Unexpectedly, it must be emphasized.

If anything about this could be called “unexpected,” it’s that inflation was even worse than people expected it would be.
The rise was worse than the 8.1 percent increase that economists had expected, according to Dow Jones estimates. https://t.co/NxWHW2Yy0p

Anyway, we don’t know about you guys, but we’re getting pretty tired of seeing terrible news being framed as unexpected when it happens as a direct result of the Biden administration and Democrats’ terrible policies. And that seems to happen a lot, as Comfortably Smug can’t help but notice:
Anyone Notice the Trend?
"Surprised" by "Unexpected" Taliban
"Surprised" by "Unexpected" Gas Prices
"Surprised" by "Unexpected" Formula Shortages
"Surprised" by "Unexpected" Recession
"Surprised" by "Unexpected" Crime Waves
"Surprised" by "Unexpected" Inflation Surge

If Democrats and their mainstream media apologists are really caught off guard by this stuff, maybe Democrats shouldn’t be in charge of running things and maybe our mainstream media needs to be replaced by people who know what the hell they’re talking about.
