After a four-year vacation spent spinning the worst inflation in 40 years as “transitory” and then trying to absolve former President Joe Biden of his responsibility for creating the crisis, the economic prodigies at NBC News and the Washington Post have decided that inflation matters again. Both newsrooms have created highly publicized databases to track food prices, with the latter gleefully anticipating that “the most likely shift in prices during President Donald Trump‘s second term will be upward.”

Not only have food prices effectively flat-lined, but Trump has thus far been successful in rectifying the inflation that was indeed manufactured by Biden’s reckless fiscal policy, both in his legislation and unilateral cancellation of $620 billion of outstanding student loan debt.
