The producer price index rose a seasonally adjusted 1.4% for the month, much higher than the 0.5% Dow Jones consensus forecast and the upwardly revised 0.7% March increase.Energy was at the root of the unexpectedly high gain in producer prices, though there was evidence that the price pain is extending beyond the gas pump.The services index accelerated 1.2%, the biggest gain since March 2022. Two-thirds of the move was attributed to a 2.7% gain in trade services, a sign that tariff costs could be starting to have a larger impact on prices. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/13/ppi-inflation-report-april-2026-.html
>>1514754>biggest increase since 2022so things were worse under Biden.If this was the worst inflation since 1977, then you'd be onto something.
here are the CPI inflation rates, annually adjusted, since 1913:https://www.minneapolisfed.org/about-us/monetary-policy/inflation-calculator/consumer-price-index-1913-Inflation in 2022 was 8.0 percent for the year.That is the highest figure since 1981.
>>1514755So you're saying that inflation right now is as bad as it was after two years of global pandemic..It hasn't even been 3 months since we shoved our dick into this hornet's ness.Did Biden cause covid? No. Did Trump cause Iran? He sure seems to think so according to a speech he gave (38:32 timestamp): >I called in Scott Bessent and all of my people, mostly my financial people. And I said, “Alright, folks, congratulations. We just hit the highest price in the history of the stock market.” . . . Oil prices were very low. They were $60 and $70 [per barrel]. They were buying [gas] for $2 and even less. . . . In Iowa, it was $1.85 a gallon.>I said, “Congratulations. Now I’m going to upset the apple cart for you, because we have to take a little journey down to a beautiful country known as Iran, and we have to make sure that they don’t have a nuclear weapon.” We stopped them with the B-2 bombers. If we didn’t do that, we would’ve had a nuclear weapon.>https://www.youtube.com/live/utjvqfAkIdo?si=I0OUHJs6A7H54ajM
>>1514754On the micro level, price increases are quite low, and on the macro level these increases are due to oil shortages. This will be rectified quite soon, as our great President tRump gets Iran under control.
>>1514772Biden decided to back Ukraine, which caused the price of Gas to spike in 2022. Biden decided to blow up Nordstream 2, and cut the flow of energy from Russia to Germany. All these things increased the price of energy, and all of it was optional. When Crimea was invaded in 2014, Obama did not decide to back Ukraine, and the price of gas was stable. Obama made a different decision
>>1514775Lol you're like that picture of Charlie from always sunny with all the sticky notes and strings on the map. You know that's a different gas right? Natural gas and gasoline are way different things. So you don't think a global shutdown causing a massive drop in demand for GASOLINE had anything to do with future supply and prices of GASOLINE, and instead think that Biden agreeing to supply arms to Ukraine and breaking away from Russian NATURAL GAS is what caused GASOLINE prices to go crazy? Or something? I would point out how silly your worldview is but you support a literal child fucker so I can be a bit more understanding.
>>1514776https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-gasoline-average-pump-price-tops-5gallon-historic-first-2022-06-11/So when the average price at the pump hit $5 a gallon in the summer of 2022, that had nothing to do with the War in Ukraine?What's next, the current price increases have nothing to do with the war in Iran?
>>1514777why do you love admitting you're a russia shill
>>1514776>>1514780The ukraine war influenced the price of gasoline in 2022. I know you are embarrassed, but it happened
>>1514781and let me guess, you think russia is winning too, don't you
>>1514782You know I am not motivated by my hatred of Ukraine, I have nothing against Ukraine. I complain about Biden
>>1514781And let me guess... Biden did that™?Lol Trump was right when he said he could rape your mom on live tv and you'd still vote for him. Oh wait my mistake, he just said he could murder someone and you people would never care. That's the truest thing he's ever said.
>>1514785The decision of Biden to back Ukraine in 2022, instead of rolling over like Obama did in 2014 when Russia invaded Crimea, caused the price of gasoline to rise.The decision of Trump to back Israel in 2026 instead of rolling over like Obama did with the Iran nuclear deal caused the price of gasoline to rise.
>>1514772>muh covid excuse for every dumb decision biden made
>>1514754Didn't we already have this thread? >>1514497
>>1514786you aren't even trying to convince us you're american, huh
>>1514788It's getting worse thanks to Trump's failed neocon economic policies.
>>1514788Trickle Down economics failing, again.Is a pretty big deal.
>>1514791It will continue to get worse as gas prices continue to climb
>>1514754Too bad the image doesn't show the 9% PPI under Biden.That would be embarrassing.In fact let me see if I can even find an article that mentions it.
>>1515117Oh wait, it was 11.4%.Shit.https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/us-producer-prices-increase-more-than-expected-march-2022-04-13/
it's funny how none of the trump shills have anything good to say about trump, they still just cry about biden
it's funny how none of the biden shills have anything good to say about biden, they still just cry about trump, like they did when biden was president for 4 years>yeah the economy sucks but joe biden is just president it's not like he is in charge of the economy suckinghttps://i.imgur.com/cCgEfoN.jpeg
it's funny how none of the projecting trump shills have anything good to say about trump, they still just need someone to complain about>yeah the economy sucks but donald trump is just president it is like he's in charge of the economy sucking
>>1515138lol dance for me, entertainment chimp.
>>1515121nice whataboutism, funny cause the democrats ran on the platform of we're better then trump. who cares if we're racist embezelling pieces of shits we're better then the orange man so YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME
esl lolcow shill 1515142 ran out of words to express his displeasurekek
>>1515144god you're esl
nice whataboutism, funny because the republicans ran on the platform of we're better than the democrats. who cares if we're racist embezzling pieces of shits, we're better than the democrats so YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME>then>embezelling>inb4 'Grammar Nazi'nice projection, rightist esl shill.
>>1515148Actually the republicans had a huge platform"Build the wall" =/= "we are better than the dems""No tax on tips" =/= "we are better than the dems"
>>1515146god you wish you had big ESL cocktiny dick indian
esl shill truly loves being humiliated
>>1515149No tax on tips is not a huge platform and is an issue with bipartisan support. Claiming that for the right is like claiming highway maintenance and that dems are pro potholes. Which I bet you'd argue since you fucks can only engage with strawmen.Why is that an issue you care about? Is it because you want to help working class people, the only people who work for tips?Cool. You know what would also help? A tax credit for buying a home for the first time, or for having your first child. That was part of democratic platform outlined in a nationally televised debate after the lunatic that just doubled the price of gas by losing a war to a third world country raved about immigrants eating people's pets; the same fuckwit who raised the price of everything with illegal retaliatory tarrifs that our tax dollars will have to reimburse companies that passed the cost onto us for. Gee, it was totally worth electing him to get to keep all of your tips, and that brilliant logic is why you're a fucking server in the first place you stupid racist piece of shit.Didn't even build the fucking wall, just gave border agents more money than the marines and had them start harassing brown people, regardless of citizenship.
>>1515153There is a wall, but it’s more like a giant fence that looks nothing like what was promisedAlso, I don’t think these retards realize how little no tax on tips goes to vitalize the economy.
>>1515153Boden don't do it tho.>Didn't even build the wallHe tried at least. You do remember why he didn't build the wall, right?I'm not even sure how you liggeral pigs can eve complain about it, but here we are.>Trump didn't build the wallFUCK YOU
>>1515156>>1515156As little as is it may be, perhaps the retards are the ones still trying to gain power based on the economy when they fucked it up completely last time they had power.All I hope is that voters will remember last time and vote accordingly. Because Democrats never learn and you deserve no power.
>>1515159Trump has done more to fuck the economy than any president in my lifetime.
>>1515153>Bipartisanhttps://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/biden-irs-slammed-plan-tip-struggling-surviveYeah, when there's an election to be won it's bipartisan. Once the elections over the terror begins.The good guys are the goodest again.
>>1515160https://i.imgur.com/cCgEfoN.jpegHow are you quantifying that?
>>1515160Demonstrably false.
>>1515162>How are you quantifying that?I'm not. I want to win an election and I can only lie at this point.Please vote for me. I lie.
>>1515162>>1515164>>1515167do you really have to spam this hard, esl shill? it just showcases your desperation
Trump's America.
>>1515180Is back on track now that Powell is out.Enjoy your lower interest rates. (You) don't deserve them.
>>1515157>eve complain about it>eveI'm not even sure how you miggeral pigs can adam complain about it, but here you are.Trump couldn't even try in building that wall.
>>1515182I want lower interest rates because I have gold miners and uranium stocks. You don't because you're a poor moron who's about to lose a truckload of purchasing power
>>1515164Covid and war with Iran are his fault
when is trumpflation going to stop?
>>1515199When Trump and MAGA is gone, eventually. If that doesn't happen then never, because they've already demonstrated again and again that they don't care about fixing this at all.
>>1515156There's not one continuous wall, there are a bunch of sections of various types of wall. There's also stretches with no barrier at all. He sold those morons on the idea that he'd build a giant wall across the entire border and make Mexico pay for it. I don't think we should move the goalpost by pointing to a bunch of shit that was already there and letting him take credit, though that is his MO.>>1515161>BipartizanBacked in the 2024 campaign by both sides. Senate bill introduced by Ted Cruz but supported across the aisle. Passed senate unanimously, 100-0.Yes, bipartisan dipshit.>Wow, I guess that means I just tried to use a bad faith strawman of the last admin. Wow, I'm a stupid faggot.Yeah, I know, we all do. It's the only thing you people do.>>1515157>FUCK YOULol, take your meds.
>>1515204>When Trump and MAGA is gone>implying they won't set the economy on fire on the way out like usual just so goldfish blame Dems come the next election so they can ride resentment back into power
