    Please explain how these are not valid sources, or is it clear that liberals are suppressing anything that goes against their agenda?

    Looks like Trump is bring down prices unlike the previous administration even though the liberals in the board don’t want to hear about it. Apparently even the moderators don’t believe the US Government or CNBC is a valid source if it provides information that supports Trump.

    Here are the links that moderators don’t believe are valid.

    Prices are falling on some purchases. 'Enjoy,' economist says: 'They're not here to stay'

    I don't know why we needed to reup this thread, but I will submit that if the site is using that chart people were posting on the deleted thread, that is kind of ridiculous, not the least being that its like 15 years out of date with some of the stuff on it

    Nice post. You should try the edit function so your headlines dont refute your thread premise.

    Yeah Liberal commentary, but of course CNBC. The data is undisputed even by liberals. So at least they are consistent.

    Considering that was from the CNBC website, it certainly says alot about CNBC.

    you've shown evidence of prices increasing, not decreasing. It's like confusing the 2nd derivative with the 1st derivative.

    The links in the OP that you are talking about did not say CNBC anywhere.

    You did not include a CNBC link in your other thread. Only https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/ . . . which can now be added to this thread started with a Rule 19 source. Thanks.

    So you are making that point that “some” prices are lower than in March 2024, 10 months before Biden left office. So they could have come down during Biden’s last 10 months or Trumps first 2.

    I’m going to guess that in pretty much every CPI report in history “some” prices went down.

    Given that what is the point of this thread?

    The next terrible jobs report TG will tell us:

    But there were *some* people who got hired!

    I see a general trend of plummeting inflation since Trump took office. Like the border, all it took was a new president.

    It's like trying to solve the integral with improper parameters.
