As most of us predicted what would happen. Prices are rising and people arent spending as much.
Things will continue to get worse for us,the stock piles companies built up are about gone.

This is why you dont listen to certain people who arent economists on here.

CPI-W for July in at 2.7% (up 0.2% from June '25).

CPI-W for July is important because CPI for the months of July, August, and September are used to calculate the 2026 COLA for Social Security recipients and, additionally, federal pensions.

The projections for the SS COLA has been slowly rising since spring - from 2.5% to, now, 2.7%. Means more money coming out of SS....at a time when the labor market is shrinking (i.e., fewer workers paying into SS).

Worse, core inflation now 3.1%.

Danger Will Robinson!!!
 
Trump didn't fix inflation. He caused more.

Trump didn't make America great.

Trump made America suck.

Trump's new BLS guy from Project 2025 will see to it that this doesn't last long.
