1. Inflation “slowing” still means rising prices. SMDH.

2. Low inflation doesn’t mean lower prices it just mean prices not rising.

3. >Here’s why prices still aren’t going down

   And the media continues dumbing down the American consumers. Prices don’t “go down” when inflation eases. That would actually be a bad sign for the economy because it would likely mean a recession and people losing their jobs. The media should instead be focusing on the fact that wage increases are outpacing inflation. That’s how it works.

4. Unless inflation hits -% things will not go down in price. Even with a slight drop in inflation it is still over 3%. A 1 month change that is only 0.3% is not a sign of inflation slowing down or speeding up.

5. Probably because companies love their profits

6. inflation is slowing, prices will stay up. prices come down if we’re in deflation where its; -4%

7. People waiting for “prices to come down” are waiting for a depression.

8. Is it even slowing? The CPI readings the last 6 months have been .1, .2, .2, .3, .4 and .4 ….

   This next CPI reading better be a beat because May through July of last year were very low readings so that headline number is likely to go up.

9. The short answer “greed”

10. Wait have prices ever gone down??? I didn’t know they could do that!!

11. Inflation is slowing. Employers should give their workers raises that match or exceed inflation. That’s what truly matters.

12. Prices will never ever lower. Salaries will have to increase which will take another 3 years. Then prices will increase again. The only way ahead is investing or finding a new job.
