Inflation rose more than expected in August, continuing to create severe financial pressure for U.S. households even as the cost of gasoline fell.
This is why they're trying to frame the next election as about someone who is not even running.

The headline print as well as the core reading, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, came in hotter than expected both M/M and Y/Y, suggesting that "you can lock in the Fed hiking rates by three-quarters of a percentage point" at its September 20-21 meeting, Justin Wolfers, an economics professor at the University of Michigan, wrote in a Twitter [post]('https://twitter.com/JustinWolfers/status/1569668142476967940').
"The substantial decline in gasoline prices is noteworthy [SIZE=4]but doesn’t address the overall problem with inflation. The report notes that the food index has jumped 11.4% over the past year, marking the biggest 12-month increase since May 1979," Hamrick said.[/SIZE]
Of note, August was "the largest monthly increase in owners' equivalent rent of primary residence since June 1990," in a sign that the sticky aspects of inflation aren't showing signs of slowing, Charles Schwab Chief Investment Strategist Liz Ann Sonders wrote in a Twitter [post]('https://twitter.com/LizAnnSonders/status/1569672946515419138').

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday flew two planes of immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, escalating a tactic by Republican governors to draw attention to what they consider to be the Biden administration’s failed border policies.
Flights to the upscale island enclave in Massachusetts were part of an effort to “transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations,” said Taryn Fenske, DeSantis’ communications director.
While DeSantis’ office didn’t elaborate on their legal status, many migrants who cross the border illegally from Mexico are temporarily shielded from deportation after being freed by U.S. authorities to pursue asylum in immigration court — as allowed under U.S law and international treaty — or released on humanitarian parole.
Massachusetts’ Gov. Charlie Baker, a Republican, said he was in touch with local officials and that short-term shelter was being provided.
State Rep. Dylan Fernandes, who represents Martha’s Vineyard, tweeted: “Our island jumped into action putting together 50 beds, giving everyone a good meal, providing a play area for the children, making sure people have the healthcare and support they need. We are a community that comes together to support immigrants.”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began busing thousands of migrants to Washington in April and recently added New York and Chicago as destinations. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has been busing migrants to Washington since May. Passengers must sign waivers that the free trips are voluntary.
DeSantis, who is mentioned as a potential presidential candidate, appears to be taking the strategy to a new level by using planes and choosing Martha’s Vineyard, whose harbor towns that are home to about 15,000 people are far less prepared than New York or Washington for large influxes of migrants.
The move is likely to delight DeSantis’ supporters who deride Democrat-led, immigrant-friendly “sanctuary” cities and anger critics who say he is weaponizing migrants as pawns for political gain.
The Florida Legislature appropriated $12 million to transport “illegal immigrants” from the state consistent with federal law, Fenske said.
“States like Massachusetts, New York, and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals who they have invited into our country by incentivizing illegal immigration through their designation as ‘sanctuary states’ and support for the Biden Administration’s open border policies,” Fenske said.

The karma is all AGAINST him LOL
Get rid of all the immigrants in his state and watch the tourism and agriculture industries crumble
If i'm not mistaken doesn't FLA have a crap load of hotel rooms that need to be cleaned everyday, restaurants that need people to cook and clean dishes, and an insane amount of service industries that cater to and support the millions of retiree's that live there???
Brilliant
