That’s kinda cool but I dunno why they didn’t make the graphs more longitudinal. It’s more confusing looking at one year at a time. I can’t imagine many people care what a specific month’s inflation looks like- only an economist studying it would know wtf that means…
if you want to look at inflation as means to assess how admin is doing, you should obviously benchmark against other nations. how did inflation compare vs G7 or something similar.
while you’re at it, maybe compare excess deaths across G7 countries for each admin.
Don’t get the point of the monthly focus rather than changes over time, or the focus on presidential administrations.
Given COVID is there and it’s exceptionality, I think the comparison between Trump & Biden’s times with inflation are pointless
Inflation shot up and then slowly declined to near normal levels in three years.
Any idea what factors go into the inflation percentage calculation? I believe cost of goods is heavily favored where other factors like home insurance is not measured at all in the calculation. Genuinely curious.
