The official inflation report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics says that inflation fell 0.2% in February, but that decline was determined by a whopping 13% drop in gasoline prices, which began rising in March. Every other price category showed an increase, and core inflation is up 2.3% over the last 12 months. That’s not deflation; it’s moderate inflation.

I also updated my ‘Tracking Inflation and I Bonds‘ page with the new numbers.

I think this administration is doing its best to underestimate inflation for political reasons. Anybody who goes grocery shopping knows it’s a lie. My grocery bill is up 31% since 2000 with no other explanation. This is about three times the official BLS inflation rate. Sooner or later, the pigeons will come home to roost. I suspect a lot of Democrats are hoping that will be after November.
