BIDEN EFFECT: Inflation up 5.4% in September over Last Year — Highest Rate in 13 Years

Inflation was up 5.4% year over year in September – the highest rate in 13 years!

Prices rose 0.4% in Sept, up from 0.3% in August

Gas, food, and goods continue to be key drivers of inflation.
Gas is up 25% under Joe Biden — the poor and middle class hurt the most.

CBC.com reported:

The inflation rate rose to a 13-year high in September as rising costs for food and shelter pushed the rate up to 5.4 per cent.

Higher prices for food and shelter made up half of the increase in the overall rate, the U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics said in a release. But the biggest individual category increase was energy, the cost of which has risen by almost 25 per cent in the past year.

Economists were expecting the number to come in at around 5.3 per cent, which would have been the highest rate since 2013. But the figure ended up being even higher.
