What i am curious to see is, how will they spin an eventual 30% inflation rate into an official 4.9% core CPi reading.

Adjust a nominal GDP for a true level of inflation and the country has been in recession since 2001.

20% presidential approval ratings do not happen in a booming economy.

The economy is only booming for those making over 10 million a year.

Even those in the upper middle class that make 100K + are struggling since that amount will only buy what 50K bought 5 years ago.
