Sorry, if you don't have a graph and a couple of sets of data tables, Ax does not take just any evidence to heart.

Goldman Sachs report says that the chance of recession is down to 15%.
Should President Biden get credit for this? 555
(I think you all know my answer)

Honestly we need a recession. Or something that'll bring prices backdown. It's hard to imagine meals at McDonalds will never go back down... I still pull up thinking there is a dollar menu. The McDouble that was $1 a few years ago is now like $3.79.

Beef prices are fixing to jump.
Just thought I'd share that tidbit...

Nothing brings prices down. The best you can hope for is a slower rise.
We don't actually want prices to come down. I'm not 100% sure why, but that's what clever people say. And by clever people, I mean of course economists.
Clever, but not quite clever enough to do a proper science degree. -

So US inflation is at 3% and that's really bad, and China's is negative, and that's really bad too.
What would be considered a good level?

After 2 years of high inflation? We will need to see several years at 1-1.5%.

Case-in-point...At the beginning of Biden's term, the house note for a $400k home will now buy a $295k home...And homes are a bit more expensive than three years ago.
That's inflation that people can relate to...
