The US’s consumer price index (CPI) in March has reached a new record.
The inflation rate jumped to 8.5 percent compared with a year ago – the greatest annual rate increase since 1981.
Compared with last month, the US CPI rose by 0.6 percent, reflecting higher fuel, food and housing costs.
Economists say inflation will cost the average US household an extra $5,200 this year.

Biden : I did that.

I thought sanctions weren’t suppose to hurt us according to the media?
I blame biden

Behind ur birth lol 😆 😂 🤣
@Dio Brando That’s disgusting 🤢
To help save money and prepare for the uncertainty of our future, My family and I have started a small backyard garden. We’re learning how to homecan, seed save and preserve what we grow. Less than 2 years in our new home and we’ve completely transformed the backyard into a beautiful garden space. We are beginner gardeners, growing and learning along the way. Recently I started a gardening channel to help encourage others to begin growing as well. No time better than now to learn self sufficiency. 💚🌱
hope you also have something for self defense such as guns in case somebody try to steal that food.
Well done russia
Biden needs to go
We did it joe. We did it.
We aren’t done yet, Kamala!
Bidenflation 👎🎭🃏
Meanwhile minimum wage has not gone up a single penny in more than a decade and none of our politicians are even talking about it. Is it time to break out the guillotines yet??
Ask your boss, Satan.
Yep
Corporate greed. Profits are at an all time high. Capitalism, baby!
Don’t forget the constant gaffes from the Big Guy…
When Trump was president from 2017-2021 we never had these issues…
Its all CHINA’S Fault 😋 for closing Shanghai port, China wants to teach USA a lesson if it tries to sanction it when it invades Taiwan .. China is saying ” we are not Russia , if u try to sanction us , we will wipe u with the earth ” .
The only country in the world where two men are richer than 40% of the population is America. (Elon musk and Jeff bezos)
Same in india
We have Adani and ambani
Given how fat & unhealthy most Americans are, eating less is good thing for their health.
Thanks Biden…
America is declining since 2001 now
It has been appeared 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Because of Their performing genocide in iraq.God will destroy them soon😇
Effect of de-dollarization.
Other countries can accelerate this by ditching the funny money that has been printed to oblivion.
*Fighting 8.5% inflation (more like 20%) with a 1% Fed funds interest rate is like stopping a forest fire with a bucket of water. Folks prepare accordingly. Make investment in other not to depend on the government for funds*
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or crypto and stocks.
Crypto trading is the best investment anyone could get into. As it could make you rich in a blink of an eye.
I’ve always wanted to trade crypto but got confused with the fluctuations in price.
@Viduté Mereckienè We are seeing how good crypto market is going currently. Atleast in stocks, you can predict with some facts, which stocks will rise, but in crypto, you just have to gamble without any facts. Just depend on other investors.
Well done.
Let’s go Brandon.
Brandon 2024!!!!
Reddit collapse
Commodity prices keep going down while store prices keep going up. That’s not inflation, it’s price gouging.
Blame Satanist Putin.
$5.00 for bread? No way 😀
In Canada loaf of bread last year 2.99. Yesterday 4.29. It’s not the end. Canada was buying from Russia wheat to feed the stock. Russian #1 supplier of wheat in the world. Ukraine #2. By the end of the year prices for bread, milk and meat could double. Some African countries will be on the break of starvation. The only hope for them will be Russia.
@Abdul 2000 That’s insane. I live in Mexico and so far basically everything is still the same prices. I order my groceries from Uber and haven’t noticed any price changes yet.
😳What is your bread made of that’s alot bread costs a $1 here in Zimbabwe.
On a caribnean island where i live Bread is $2.50 ECX per bag.(1US=2.70ECX)
Lol. And I thought a $1.50 loaf of bread was bad in our country. Lmao. Absolute state of ‘MURECA.
That’s price gouging corporations are doing this out of greed and because politicians allow this republicans have managed to give the unlimited power to these oligarchs
In Nepal bread comes in 30 rupees that is 25 cent 😁😁😁😁. In 5 dollars I can eat chicken curry with rice full for three days day and night in three star hotel 😁😁😁😁.
@Veshraj Shrestha as in it really isn’t as good as it seems/ ever did? Agreed. North America is quite literally the opposite
The salary in US in 1 month maybe same as you work in one year but the cost of living is very expensive in US
can i come to nepal sir?
That isn’t how it works
Yes the US dollar can get you a lot of stuff in other lands but US $5 is worth the same as 5 rupees would be in Nepal due to the standard of living in America. The average US monthly expenses is about $3000 for lower middle class family. Nepal doesn’t charge 5 lacs a month for the average middle class there.
@Ali Ahmed supermarket food is not quality food. In Nepal fresh food vegetables cereal are eaten from field that is the quality life. Bottle water is not equal to fresh Himalayan water😁😁😁😁. Artificial cannot match natural mister. Desert culture is third class culture compare to Himalayan culture 😁😁😁😁😁
Every worker who didn’t get a raise higher than inflation actually got a pay cut.
And very few workers got 8% raises.
I got 33%🥰🥰🥰
You just have to give yourself a raise. Do less work.

China’s coal in 2020… have they been getting sanctioned throughout COVID?
As you can see we are already in April and I feel those who would allow the market dynamism to determine when to trade or not are either new in space in general or probably just naïve, the sphere have seen far worse times than this, enlightened traders continue to make good use of the dip and pump even acquiring more equities towards trading sessions, I’d say that more emphasis should be put into trading since it is way profitable than holding. Trading went smooth for me as I was able to raise over 9.2 BTC when I started at 3.5 BTC in just few weeks implementing trades with signals and insights from my expert.
Nothing interest me than talks about bitcoin and now to make money through trading bitcoin.
Is there anyone who know an expert? trading as a newbie is quite stressful and discouraging.i have watch a lot of videos and tried to trade on my own but ends up lossing all.
I will recommend Jason Connor trading services for you his strategies is working for me at the moment and making good profit from bitcoin trading.
bitcoin is moving crazy this few days but if you are smart then you should know the best thing to do is exchange especially with the right guidance
Just a question. Are sanction against Russia or USA? I am confused)))
against diabetes if cheese, meat and milk are the base of the diet 😂
No war, no money. America
Enjoy
Pakistan selected government has sent money to the Biden gov since they got rid of Khan
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today..

@Fredic muller You guys are everywhere, how do you rehears this😃
First of all, I am absolutely disgusted by what this made for a sandwich. Is that what Americans eat at home!!
2 jokes that were made at the last time of USSR :
visiter to a boy: where are your parents?
boy: my father has gone to the space yesterday and will return tomorrow; and my mother has gone to buy bread, I dont know when will she return.
visiter to a girl: do you know english?
girl: yes
visiter: how much?
girl: 20 dollar

If you sanction Russia, Russia sanctions you 😀
Мы, русские, очень благодарны индонезийцам, которые нас поддержали. в подарок смотрите этот канал и приходите петь с нами 🇷🇺❤️🇷🇺❤️🇷🇺
Infact love from south korea also.
Just use a word most people don’t know much about, and you can lie massively. “Prices doubled” is not 8.5% of anything. Keep your eyes on the money. Corporate profits up 70%? Why? Because they can, and then they can obfuscate.
Jumped by 8,5 or jumped to 8,5????
US needs wars……. So they can sell their weapons
Just remember when its time to riot take to the corporate streets and leave the mom and pop stores alone!
Thanks to biden funding bioweapon on ukraine couple year of ago untill now.. thanks provoked russia safety.. thanks make ukraine as a toy to fight russia for they own agenda..

It’s Not That Bad Here In The U.S How Everyone making it seems to be…😭😂🤣
maybe for you it isn’t but im sure the average American disagrees🤣🤣
@troll warlord Bro They exaggerating
@Tella Swizzy L-Dot so the average American is not under debt??
@Tella Swizzy L-Dot talking non rich people here who had to take loans to study or barely have any savings because of countless other debts.
of course thats bound to happen, they print money $$$ like toiletpaper with no gold backing…
Usa inflation would increas every year cause russian sanction. And usa cant get rid of that maybe… China and rasia, venezula,brazil,iran even middleest country not interested in dollar any more cause they are not taking risk of usa sanctions
Middle East currency are pegged to usd so u can’t say they are not interested
The best thing about poverty is everybody lose weight, toned girls with no gym.
Not true in America. People get more fat as they get poor.
@Pizza Doe I mean one meal 🥘 a day poor , hollow food or whole food food all the same
10% for the big guy. Lets go Brandon!
Every country should stop using US dollar for international trade.
@Jaivek kanabar well depends if next sanction is on China or not which i would say maybe by the end of the year or next year
And use Euroes instead?
@Tau ceti America wont let Euro br trade currency. Euro is also tied more to dollar than anything else.
Return to gold.
@troll warlord I see
Carful, the government is tricking you into PANIC BUYING so YOU YOURSELF are the ones that create the food shortages.
Biden once again
Your name lmao ,
The sanction is against russia.why should the west suffer?
They can go to the banks.
Shortages and inflations all over the world are right things happening.we all deserve this all.America is made fool for a long time and very cleverly almost entire manufacturing is moved out of America and now America is even dependent on others for almost every thing,even basic medicine.after this all, entire world that has given up local manufacturing will restart every thing again.it’s good although right now it’s hurting.😁.
No, it was 8.5% SINCE last year, NOT last year: so this 8.5% increase was on top of already high inflation of last year, making the total inflation rate percent even worse than pre covid.
Brain dead President cannot understand why the public is angry
soon more crime more drug dealers more theft more people getting more mad and hungry
bread dont cost anymore than it cost 3 years ago, same thing with everything else except oil.
Slice of cheese with mayo….times must be hard
Eat less, get healthy.
Corporate profits are up 70% over the past year. There’s your inflation: they aren’t raising wages but they’re raising prices because there’s no one to stop them. They’ll bleed us until we’re dry.
With the biden Administration is anyone surprised??
First time Americans?….
Stop meddling in other country internal matters…
VOTE DEMOCRAT know u get what u bargained for . Broke people and broken promises
I like how these fake news networks like to blame Ukraine for high inflation when inflation was climbing fast before Ukraine even became an issue.
And the less privileged around the world watches this jawbreaking : ‘ do they eat all that all the time?’
Biden should come up with a plan that will help reduce inflation before things go out of hands.
Biden voters are getting exactly what they voted for.
God, the midterms can’t get here fast enough. Just hope the Dems haven’t completely destroyed America by then.
It’s the U.S and Europe led War using their Puppet Ukraine to fight Russia that has increase Oil Prices in the World.
Donate more money and weapons to Ukraine 👏👏👏🤭
Inflation is good for the economy., It means your savings won’t be enough to retire on but the oligarchs and communist countries who pay for Joe Biden’s family’s lavish lifestyle will become even richer as their currencies become worth more than the dollar.
Example of inflation: I saw a can of Pringles today. They used to sell for 99 cents a can. They had a price of $4.29. I think that is a little higher than 8.5%. I don’t think people’s pay increased 400% since that 99 cent price.
😁😂🤣 US EU West sanctions backfired to them and the world!

Hello, I’ve been trading on my own, haven’t made a lot.
Please how do I start trading with Mr Andreas Antonopoulos?
꧁꧁꧁꧁◡十𝟏𝟖𝟏𝟐𝟖𝟏𝟒𝟕𝟎𝟗𝟐꧁꧁꧁꧁
I’ve never heard or seen any of his client complain of lost, I think he’s just too perfect.
My weekly earning from his strategies are mind blowing🤑🤑
You know what u can do to minimize the problem? Stop creating problem and enemy around the world. Stop pouring oil onto fire in Ukraine. Stop the trade war. Stop promoting war. Your problem will be gone in no time.
I am not a fan of Biden. However, I believe that he shouldn’t only be blamed for part of the economic problems America is dealing with. Why? Because inflation is a systemic symptom showing the deep seated problems within the country’s economic management. America has been living well beyond its means for a very long time. The long running Afghan War drained $2.3 Trillions from the coffers. $2.3 Trillions over 20 years is about $115 Billions per year. That doesn’t seem much in a large economy like America. But the “multiplying effects” simply couldn’t be ignored. Hard cash aside, the opportunity costs and wasted human resources and energy aren’t focused on matters that really matter for the country, they were directed at winning, or more aptly, how to lose gracefully.
Inflation is building up within America, and the government chose to ignore it as successive government borrowed and print money at a rapid pace just to plug the gaps. As the saying goes…the fat lady sings.
We have no chance with Slo Jo in charge. Remember to “Vote Blue” this November. Keep this Administration going.
Based on current situation for Russian; America is nothing
5dollars for a bread🤔🤔🤔pple in the US are rich because here in uganda bread is 1dollar and some cents.
That’s what happen when you try to isolate other countries now innocent Americans will pay for it!
Yay Brandon,
Biden did that
Dollar is collapsing??
Pathetic
GDP Based are GDP BASED, it is not for any REVERSALS, as INFLATION SPEAKS amongst countries, where INVENTORIES are accounted, that is in operation, tangible standards and procedures and not VIRTUAL, nor ANY ADULTERATED ADD ONS, that always gives out the same RESULT. SMEs……
I make a little over 100k and can barely sustain myself lol. The struggle is real. 2300 in rent alone
-_____-
Take all four jabs. Also more pipelines and oil from Alaska for California.
Put more tariff to China and send more weapons to ukraine to prolong the war that’s will help to bring down the inflation 😀😀😀
enjoy your trade war. 😂
The US government choose war instead of its own economy. Everything seems to be the highest record and next year the military budget is also the record high of 813.3 billion dollars. If the American can not afford to stay in a rented house, they can always become homeless that no one care. The American loves freedom and this is the freedom of choice. You either stayed afloat or to be drowned under the water.
People don’t have enough money for food, but they already bought an expensive laptop, car, iphone, cable tv service, and other luxuries.
