so here is the breaking news today that is going to have people talking and the white

asses already spotted will just hit on this briefly so that you hear it inflation hit 9.1% in June

if that sounds idea like you don't follow the news at closely I feel like I heard numbers like we're like in the 7s or the 8s recently

and people said that was high it was that was record setting high but June 9.1% highest since 1981

an alarming surge says whatever publication wrote this really all of them are saying that because it is

yeah that's probably why just in president Biden is defending the inflation track you have to I guess

today's data does not reflect the full impact of nearly 30 days of decreases in gas prices he is right

that this news on June does not include the last what day is today of July 13th to 12 days of gas going down

so he's right about that and July's number might be better than June's but it you know I'm not sure that makes that much difference

well yeah I mean if you're argument or your spin of a disastrous June is that July won't be as bad

okay I'm glad to hear it but that doesn't make June any less disastrous right and it's true that the world is seeing rampant inflation

but you know we have it worse because we spent so much money through it around you know I decided at one point

like a week ago I just I wasn't going to bother with any more stories about how 50 million dollars worth of

COVID money was spent on you know anti-racism education in middle schools in Danbury Connecticut

right you know I just because there's so much of it it just wasn't interesting anymore but it was an excuse to just

hurl trillions of dollars into the economy as everybody screamed this is going to cause inflation

so you get the government you deserve I guess oh hey that reminds me one of our brilliant and alert listeners sent this along

it's actually when when NPR is not flamingly biased they do some pretty good reporting and this is an article about why there's such a severe shortage of homes in the US
