Whether we still have an "inflation problem" is a separate question from whether there are other, related problems, or whether the public will be assuaged with reassurances that it's not getting worse anymore.The current inflation rate (3.4%) is 140 basis points above the Federal Reserve target of 2%
so the car hasn't "stopped" --if the car completely stopped, we would likely go into deflation
but you are arguing technicalities that literally no one among the electorate cares about when it comes to inflation. Do you think a woman who has to buy milk for 20% more than a year ago, a car which is 30% more expensive, or a home which is now 40-50% more expensive than a few years ago, is going to be comforted by this gaslighting that "oh don't worry, the inflation rate has actually slowed"!
prices aren't coming down, and we just went through one of the worst inflationary storms in US history. DNC talking-points about how things "aren't really that bad"! aren't going to fly with the public
