Inflation was slightly lower than expected in April as President Donald Trump’s tariffs just began hitting the slowing U.S. economy, according to a Labor Department report Tuesday.
The consumer price index, which measures the costs for a broad range of goods and services, rose a seasonally adjusted 0.2% for the month, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 2.3%, its lowest since February 2021, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said. The monthly reading was in line with the Dow Jones consensus estimate while the 12-month was a bit below the forecast for 2.4%.
Excluding volatile food and energy prices, core CPI also increased 0.2% for the month, while the year-over-year level was 2.8%. The forecast was for 0.3% and 2.8% respectively.
Inflation is slowing, but still positive. We are still cumulatively effed by the currency devaluation that accelerated under Pedo Pete. (https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143458249)

There's a long way to go to fix the economy but at least it's not being made worse, like Kamala would have done.

Rather than acknowledge any success on the part of the Trump administration, Democrats are taking their ball and going home.
