Lowest since 3/21, when the Doddering Old Fool's string-pullers took over and royally screwed things up.

As yinz know, during the campaign, pb was critical of Trump’s economy policies. Clearly, pb was wrong.


From AI:

Inflation cooled more than expected in January 2026, with the annual rate falling to 2.4%, down from 2.7% in December. This marks the lowest year-over-year increase since May 2025 and brings the rate closer to the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.

Key January 2026 Inflation Stats

Headline CPI: Rose 0.2% month-over-month, primarily slowed by a 1.5% drop in energy costs.

Core CPI (excludes foods/energy): Rose 0.3% for the month and 2.5% annually.

    Considering things like tariffs, etc That's a pretty good sign. Of course, I'm a "glass half full guy" and don't have TPS, so there's that. I guess I can be happy for the stabilization. I think also, the shift into full time jobs is having an effect on the working class. All in all, a semi silver cloud.

    "That said, the pass-through to consumers has been more muted than expected, likely because businesses have chosen to erode their profit margins rather than risk alienating consumers via higher prices, economists said. Companies with inventory imported to the U.S. before tariffs were implemented were also able to sell those products to consumers at typical prices."

    That ^ describes my employer. Our new prices, many of which are substantially higher, don't go into effect until tomorrow.
