Race has no excuse for being Chrissey level dumb. He’s old as the hills and should know better.

It got to 4% inflation in April 2021. Fed started to slowly increase rates in March 2022, when inflation was 8.5%. It peaked in July 2022 when the Fed finally got to the top of its rate climb. It took until April 2023 to get back to the April 2021 number.

Just a few months of transitory inflation though. Laughing my ass off a lot on this board lately.

Ten consecutive years those of us long removed from the kiddie table lived through. Annual inflation rate in right hand column. Fully half those years exceeded the annual inflation rate of 8% in 2022. They ALL exceeded the annual inflation rates of 4.7% in 2021 and 4.1% in 2023.

Yes, I did call a few months of single digit high inflation transitory. You girls getting hysterical about such short-lived inflation are giving off real snowflake vibes.
