The first lie of “Bidenomics” the Biden regime and the media continue to tout is that inflation is going down, yet Americans are still seeing extremely high food prices when compared to 2020 before Biden took office, because what goes up, doesn’t always come down.
On top of that, gas prices are rising once again, but the media is attempting to lay the some of the blame on the summer heat, yet unless one believes there were no summers during the Trump presidency, that excuse falls flat and actually attains the level of outright lies.
TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/
The claim: “This summer’s heat wave has also contributed to the rising pump prices, some experts say, as extreme heat prevents refineries from running at full capacity.”
Via AP, about gas prices under Trump: “The highest price during his [Trump’s] administration was $2.96 in May 2018, and its lowest was around $1.77 in April 2020, when much of the country was locked down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When Trump left office on Jan. 20, 2021, the average price was around $2.39 a gallon.”
On August 4, 2023, in the midst of the rise in gas prices, which are still rising, USA Today, gives us a look at states with the highest prices and states with the lowest prices.
States with most expensive gas
1. California: $5.05 per gallon
2. Washington: $4.99 per gallon
3. Hawaii: $4.73 per gallon
4. Oregon: $4.65 per gallon
5. Alaska: $4.41 per gallon
6. Nevada: $4.33 per gallon
7. Utah: $4.11 per gallon
8. Illinois: $4.06 per gallon
9. Idaho: $4.00 per gallon
10. Colorado: $3.97 per gallon
States with cheapest gas
1. Mississippi: $3.33 per gallon
2. Louisiana: $3.44 per gallon
3. Alabama: $3.45 per gallon
4. Kentucky: $3.46 per gallon
5. Ohio: $3.46 per gallon
6. Tennessee: $3.48 per gallon
7. Texas: $3.49 per gallon
8. Arkansas: $3.50 per gallon
9. South Carolina: $3.54 per gallon
10. Oklahoma: $3.58 per gallon
Not one state has lower prices than Trump’s highest price during his administration, which was $2.96 per gallon.
As for food, July’s numbers won’t be available until August 10, but can guarantee, simply by looking at previous releases, that food will be far higher than the overall inflation.
We have already shown June’s numbers but for those new to ANP or missed it, the chart is above.
So, while overall inflation was at 3% in June, food inflation was higher, with some products such as cereals and bakery goods, including breads, hitting an 8.8% rise from June 2022.
This is what the media ignores when touting a 3% inflation rate, claiming it has gone down.
What they truly don’t want Americans to understand is that inflation can go down, but unless it hits negative percentages, prices are still high and getting higher, and will continue to do so.
Consumers won’t feel any relief because the high prices are here to stay.
Via Breitbart because when possible I avoid CNN links:
On Friday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” CNN Business Editor-at-Large and CNN International Business Correspondent Richard Quest noted that the decrease in the rate of inflation doesn’t mean prices are falling, and “Prices are still going up. They’re just not going up as fast” as they were before, and that even with decreases in the rate of inflation, you’re still “paying a lot more.” Quest also stated that while he thinks price increases will ease, “you won’t see” prices “coming down.”
While most Americans understand that, it hasn’t stopped the media, on behalf of the Biden regime, from trying to pull the wool over Americans’ eyes.
