Here's the nub that economists and the media overlook when discussing inflation: even though year-over-year inflation is decreasing, consumers are still intensely feeling the pinch.
Why? Prices have risen by nearly 14% in the past two years, a relatively short period, while earnings have not kept pace. Consumers are still adjusting to the new reality, and measuring inflation year-over-year fails to capture consumers’ pain.
Meanwhile, President Biden is in another world. He said he took no responsibility for the ongoing inflation in the country when he highlighted the strong January jobs report early this month.

There are some great charts in this article. I particularly like the BLS versus TIPP charts
TIPP CPI vs. BLS CPI
The following four charts present details about the new metric.
The official year-over-year CPI increase reported by BLS is 6.4% for January 2023. Compare this to the TIPP CPI of 13.7%, a 7.3-point difference. Prices have increased by 13.7% since President Biden took office.
Food prices increased by 17.6% under President Biden's watch compared to only 10.1% as per BLS CPI, a difference of 7.5 points.
Energy prices increased 32.8% per TIPP CPI compared to 8.7% according to BLS CPI, a difference of 24.1 points.
The Core CPI is the price increase for all items, excluding food and energy. The Core TIPP CPI was 11.6% compared to 5.6% BLS CPI in the year-over-year measure, a 6.0-point difference.
Further, gasoline prices have increased by 33.0% since President Biden took office. However, the BLS CPI shows that gasoline price has risen by 1.50%, a difference of 31.5 points.
Used car prices have risen by 23.7% during President Biden's term. The BLS CPI shows that the prices have dropped by 11.6%, a difference of 35.3 points.
Inflation for air tickets under President Biden is 34.2% compared to the BLS CPI finding of 25.6%.

Try 40 to 60% for food prices ! I know what it cost, I'm paying for it. Home heating oil gasoline etc. a lot more also than claimed for the percentage increase. purchase an automobile, even used as massive increase in price ! The percentage increases of everything are a lot more than they claim and the worst in my Lifetime. Biden had managed to do major damage to our economy and even any drop still doesn't bring it back to where it was before He moved into the White House. The big percentage of what He has done in office to our economy and many other issues as well is a failure in almost every case and any other claim is an outright lie !

Biden has done so at the bidding of NOBAMA, & his handlers. I think that You are also stating that Before, OBIDEN, Prices were lower, & the general Economy was ok, but TRUMP was in the WH, remember, & NO wars, the middle east HAITI wasn't going bonkers., & best of all there were ZERO Soldiers, Sailors, AirForce, Coastguard, MARINES, getting killed, LIKE ABBYGATE! Election day is VERY IMPORTANT!

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter: You are right on target and I just received my auto policy and it increased by 22%. No claims, violations or anything else. Joe is killing some of us financially and doesn't even care.
