Inventory got front-loaded in the wake of Liberation Day

The full inflationary toll of the tariffs has yet to be tolled

Today’s Doctored CPI Inflation Release is like a Bad Joke, but Very Serious (though it Suits the Administration’s Narrative)

The Bureau of Labor Statistics explained today in its CPI report for November that most data for October was missing and some data for November was missing, and that it filled in the gaps in the November data, including by “approximating missing data points” with whatever, including for Owners Equivalent of Rent (OER), the biggest component of CPI, weighing 26% of overall CPI, for 33% of core CPI, and for 44% of core services CPI.

OER had a su ious outlier-plunge in September, and that su ious outlier-plunge in September was carried forward to October and November. And the BLS even explained some of it in separate notes, and so it’s not a secret.

Let's see what the actual spending looks like. What people say and what they do, especially in America, are often two very different things.

This is absolutely insane:

Inflation in the US just unexpectedly posted one of the largest monthly declines since 2023.

While a +10 basis point increase in inflation was expected, it actually FELL by -40 basis points.

This puts Core CPI inflation in the US at its lowest level since March 2021.

According to this data, inflation is now at its closest point to the Fed's 2% target since the pandemic.

2026 is going to be a wild year.

So now you agree that experts made those predictions? OK.

Yeah, maybe. And then let's check credit card payments this year versus last.

You s will never give up on your lord and Master Trump, huh?

In fairness, who knows how accurate this data is.

You don't even remember what the original claim was. You've completely lost any rational thought you may have ever had, all to try to scrape together desperate internet victories.

sad.

Trump said little girls won't get the extra doll this Christmas.

I don't see any reason to doubt it, Trump inherited a strong economy. It's pretty hard for government officials to screw up macroeconomics, even if they try.

Why are the markets not skyrocketing at all the happy news?

[Yonivore]

Trump’s tariffs actually slashed the deficit from a record $136.4 billion to less than half that. Here’s what else they did

[ChumpDumper]

Very sloppy headline.

It makes rubes like yoni believe Trump's fiat taxes are reducing the US budget deficit.

Many economists on both sides today are warning of massive inflation coming. Why are you ignoring them today? Why is Trump ignoring them and going ?

1/8/2026
U.S. productivity just surged +4.9%. The strongest reading in nearly six years.

At the same time, labor costs fell –1.9%.

Higher output with lower costs is the holy grail: growth without inflation.

Put simply:
• Productivity jumped from ~3.3% to 4.9%
• Labor costs flipped from +1% to –1.9%

No surprise the Atlanta Fed’s Q4 GDP forecast just climbed to +5.4%.

While Antifa-trained agitators, in Minneapolis, and Tren de Aragua gang members in Portland, try to run down ICE Agents and get shot for their trouble, The Trump administration keeps barreling toward record economic indicators. Don't worry, you haters on the Left will benefit, as well - there's nothing we can do to stop it. Trump's economic policies aren't discriminatory.

Antifa Tren de Aragua

your boogeymen

Are you hiding from them right now?

Why are the markets not skyrocketing on all this happy news?

Please explain.

[TSA]

S&P 500, NASDAQ, and DOW all at all time highs

[ChumpDumper]

But the markets really didn't skyrocket with all your happy news, did they?

TSA used to make a really big deal of it when jobs numbers were revised downwards months later.

Jobs numbers have been revised downwards most of this past year.

TSA has shut the up about it.

Why?
