Thanks to Senile Biden and his fellow libtards in Congress surging prices for gas, food and rent catapulted U.S. inflation to a new four-decade peak in June, further pressuring households. Consumer prices soared 9.1% compared with a year earlier, the biggest 12-month increase since 1981.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. inflation surged to a new four-decade high in June because of rising prices for gas, food and rent, squeezing household budgets and pressuring the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates aggressively -- trends that raise the risk of a recession.

The government’s consumer price index soared 9.1% over the past year, the biggest yearly increase since 1981, with nearly half of the increase due to higher energy costs.

Lower-income and Black and Hispanic American have been hit especially hard, since a disproportionate share of their income goes toward essentials such as transportation, housing and food. But with the cost of many goods and services rising faster than average incomes, a vast majority of Americans are feeling the pinch in their daily routines.

For 72-year-old Marcia Freeman, who is retired and lives off of a pension, there is no escape from rising expenses.

“Everything goes up, including cheaper items like store brands,” said Freeman, who visited a food bank near Atlanta this week to try and gain control of her grocery costs.

'I Don't Know Anybody' Who Is 'Worried About Inflation'


This was almost exactly one year ago. Watch as the President of the United States -- who'd recently signed a recklessly wasteful and inflationary $2 trillion 'COVID relief' package (oops) -- assured Americans that nobody should be seriously concerned about inflation. After all, he said, he didn't know "anybody" who was even "worried about" the problem.
