Inflation heats up to highest pace in three years, fueled by Iran war

Gee, didn't see this coming.  😒 #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsACriminal www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump may not care about Americans' financial situation, but his illegal war is hurting working people every day. Inflation is at the highest level since 2023 & prices on everything from gas to groceries have gone up. This war is making us less safe & worse off. We must end it.

Wars of choice have consequences. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The inflation rate in Biden's last month in office, as Trump took over, was 2.9%, and The Economist presented the US economy as the envy of the world. Now Trump with a GOP trifecta in Washington has driven it up to 4.2%, with signs points to significantly higher inflation ahead.

Gas prices go up. Food costs more. Budgets shrink. Educators, nurses, public workers feel it every day, as inflation just hit 4.2%. Working people are most vulnerable when their money is worth less than it was the week before. We need solutions now. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

13. Of course, the real scammers are the Republicans and their rich friends. And the real scamming victim is us. Inflation jumped to 4.2 percent this month, the highest it has been since 2023. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Every increase at the gas pump echoes across the economy. As inflation hits three-year highs, working people should not be expected to keep carrying the burden, they deserve real relief & leaders who #FightForAffordability www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

"US Inflation heats up to highest pace in three years, fueled by Iran war. The consumer price index rose 4.2 percent in May, the steepest increase since 2023." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The Republican Leadership recently said, "I don't care about Americans' financial situation." We've noticed: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Inflation went from 3.8% to 4.2% in May. Iranian officials are reading this article and high-fiving each other. They’ve been very strategic & rational during this war. They knew which hand to play & how to play it. And they’ve largely succeeded so far.

Inflation crossed 4 percent for the first time in three years in May, exacerbating Americans’ pain at the pump and dealing a fresh political blow to the White House, as the Iran war’s toll on consumers shows no sign of abating. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

But the GOP Congress keeps genuflecting to this utter incompetent. And ditsy GOP voters worship him. Inflation heats up to highest pace in three years, fueled by Iran war www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

We feel it every time we go to the grocery store, and it’s a direct result of this administration's bad policies. These guys are getting rich while feeding our families gets more expensive. Rep Tim Walberg voted to support all of this. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Since the trump administration likes to cook the books, when it puts out a 4% inflation figure, scarily, the truth must be much higher. That's what Americans are feeling in the real economy of raising gas prices, groceries, medical care, utilities & housing. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Something those of us that have to shop for ourselves already knew; inflation has risen to its highest level since 2023, mostly due to Iran war. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
