Everything is continuing to get more expensive, but the prices are now being compared to the prices a year ago which had risen sharply. So inflation as a percentage increase from prices a year ago remains high, but not as high as it was when prices were being compared to the relatively stable prices we had had for many years. So yes, prices stink and are getting worse. But in terms of a percentage increase from 12-months ago, it doesn't seem quite as bad as it's been. It's just the way the math works when using 12-months ago as the reference point.

You feel that?  It’s your earned dollars becoming worthless.  This is how the rich inflate away their debt on real estate while stealing from the wage slaves.
