Since this is a year over year number and there was very low numbers within the last two years we will be seeing this into early 2022.

Basic math.

We are entering a period of inflation that is going to absolutely shock most people.

The UN says that the global price of food has already risen more than 32 percent over the past year.

Coal and other energy sources are in short supply.

Add in the pandemic, worker shortages, supply chain issues, and unusual demand patterns and this will get much worse before it gets better.

So you are saying it is a worldwide problem and not just Biden's fault? What should Biden do? Price controls or start subsidizing food? Come on.

It really is an international problem that pre-dates Biden and the pandemic. Major economies has have such low interest rates for decades now. Here in Germany my wife's bank is starting to charge NEGATIVE interest on balances as low a 50k€. Many other Sparkassen (similar to credit unions) do on all accounts. We have been on the brink for a long time, the pandemic was just the driver. Many people were always screaming interest rates needed to be increased so we had a tool to fix the economy when the inevitable something bad happened. But no, the banks needed that cheap money.

Going up at 1% annually is one thing. Going up at 8.6% is a horse of a different color.

Cost of gas, food, tuition, beer, etc went up faster than 1% and this was going on well before Biden.

I'm old enough to remember when a six pack of craft beer used to cost around $7. Now it's north of $16 and you only get a four pack!

When moved to NYC I got rent for $500 a month!!! I signed a lease and got a rent controlled apartment for $800 a month. I saw a listing for the unit above my old apartment for a studio that was smaller than my old place last year going for $2100 a month!

This is a Covid problem related to supply chains and pent up demand. There may be a little tacked on for rising wages, and a little more for energy prices related to phasing out fossil fuels, but I’m good with both of those. Let’s get moving with the BBBB plan.

The problem with a wage/inflationary pattern is it can lead to a spiral. We gotta get the supply chain under control.

The inflationary pressures now are supply chain induced.
As a percentage of gdp, debt isn't high enough to drive it higher. Gotta remember wages have been flat for everyone but the top .01 for 40 years. Gdp has been rising exponentially all the while.

A math question for everyone bitching about inflation...

If the CPI was 5.4% higher in August 2021 than to was in August 2020

And it was 5.3% higher in September 2021 than it was in September 2020

How much did prices change from August 2021 to September 2021?

Since Trump didn't balance the budget it is okay for democrats to print up another 5-10 trillion dollars.

Your smarter than the average bear.

Exactly, but the number is not 5.3%

Month to month it was about 1.4%

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/cpi_01132021.pdf

Of course the 4% drop in March 2020, the 8% drop in April 2020 and the 1% drop in May meant the CPI had some catching up to do to break even.

It's a waste of time even discussing this with cultist. Every republican president in my life has run up deficits and the national debt. I'd respect conservatives if they were serious but the truth is they have no problem when it's their team doing all the spending.

It's not math and it's not figuring - it is liberal arithmetic. You know the kind that tells us Xiden's 3.5 trillion dollar spending spree actually costs nothing and now tells us the inflation rate is really only 1.4%

I thought I was the one who couldn't spell.

However, as always the facts support the liberal position, much to conservatives regret.

In September, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers rose 0.4 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis, the index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in September (SA).

Does this mean natural gas will only be 0.2% higher than last winter?

We switched from propane to geo-thermal back when propane was about $1 a pound and have never regretted it.  It had about a 5 year payback.

Okay, thinking propane was more like 1.89 or 2.29 a pound...

Wish I could say the same about propane. It sounds like we're going to get bent over this winter.

We switched from propane to geo-thermal back when propane was about $1 a pound and have never regretted it. It had about a 5 year payback.

Was very interested in geo a few years back. I think it would have been 18k loan to get it installed. We pay about 2k a year oil. In the long term I felt like we would have come out way head. Big fear was how would it do on the very cold days and the electric bill.
