The US govt is reporting today that consumer prices have dropped? Where?

Question

What country is that in because if anything I see the cost of everything going up and I constantly have less money left over at the end of the month no matter how much I cut back. It always seems like someone else raises their cost faster than I can cut back.

Answer 1

Man, I hate to be one of those who say the are just feeding you full of *explicit deleted* but they are. What has been being reported, especially as of late, has been kind of strange in my opinion. The idea of consumer prices dropping is obviously a lie, or they dropped so little that it doesn't effect the price. However, another theory could be that the price of the things we consume is dropping, however since gas is rising, it offsets consumer pricing. Just some things to think about. Study the Illuminati, a lot of the conspiracy of the new world order is coming true. The price of fuel is hurting if not destroying the middle class, and that seems to be the goal. Look it up, I'm telling you, this goes deep. They really are out to get you.

Answer 2

The only thing that caused an overall drop this past month was a decline in month-over-month energy prices.

Energy prices are still up over 12% this year.

The price of everything is on an upward trend (unless you are trying to sell a house or an American car).

Answer 3

The drop was a brief episode in August, and is an "average" over prices of major consumer items. It's hard for people to detect because of the sheer diversity of goods and the consistent upward trend (which makes us assume that such trend will hold always and forever).

Answer 4

According to newspaper articles there are a lot of great buys on stretch limos (and their gas mileage is up to 34 mpg).

I think you just have been focused on food and gas and not looked at the major things that have dropped in price.
