Prices Aren’t Falling—They’re Just Slowing Down: The Inflation Lie the Elites Want You to Swallow
Inflation Is Slowing, But Prices Are Still Sky-High
Let’s get this straight: just because inflation slowed to 2.7% in December doesn't mean your cost of living got better.
- Inflation is compounding. A “lower” inflation rate just means prices are still climbing—just a little slower.
- Since 2020, we've had double-digit cumulative inflation. That money is gone, and wages aren’t keeping up.
- Food prices are up 0.7% just last month, and energy costs climbed too. That hits every family, every day.
So when the elites cheer a 2.7% inflation rate, they’re celebrating that you’re getting squeezed slightly less quickly. That’s not a win—it’s a slap in the face.
The Fed’s Game: Keep You Confused, Keep You Broke
The Federal Reserve—America’s unelected economic overlords—won’t be cutting rates yet. Why? Because they don’t work for you. They work for Wall Street and Washington.
- The Fed has no incentive to bring prices down—only to avoid panic.
- Their tightrope act keeps inflation “moderate” while protecting the asset bubbles of the ultra-rich.
- Interest rates remain high enough to crush small businesses and homebuyers, but not high enough to stop inflation dead in its tracks.
And yet the same Fed that ignited inflation with trillions in money printing during COVID now wants you to believe they’re the adult in the room? Spare me.
Tariffs, Immigration, and AI: The Real Drivers Behind Price Chaos
The report admits it: tariffs are jacking up prices on everyday goods. But what they don’t say is why we’re doing this piecemeal, politically driven trade war in the first place.
- Tariffs are raising prices on basics—coffee, furniture, appliances. You name it.
- Meanwhile, immigration policy is distorting the housing market—fewer workers, fewer renters, falling rents in some markets. Sounds good? Not so fast.
Because at the same time, AI is replacing jobs, especially low-wage service jobs, and putting downward pressure on wages. That’s a fancy way of saying: the working class is getting squeezed from both ends.
The Housing Lie: How Data Manipulation Hides the Real Pain
One of the biggest holes in the inflation report? Housing data. It’s been distorted by the government shutdown and the way the Bureau of Labor Statistics collects rent data.
- The government pretended rental inflation was 0% in October—a joke.
- Because of that glitch, current inflation numbers are understated by about 0.1%.
They admit this will continue until at least April. That means the official inflation rate is a lie today—and they’re not fixing it anytime soon.
This isn’t just bad math. It’s deliberate statistical manipulation to calm markets, pacify voters, and protect the people in power.
The Media’s Role: Soothing You While You Burn
Let’s talk about the media for a second. The CNN article (and most of the mainstream coverage) frames inflation as:
“Not reaccelerating… easing slowly… headed in the right direction.”
Nowhere do they ask the real question: Why is inflation allowed to persist at all? Why do prices go up and never come down?
Because if they told you the truth—that the Federal Reserve is printing your savings into dust, that corporate monopolies are price-gouging you with government cover, and that digital currency rollouts like FedNow will give them even more control—you’d revolt.
Instead, they sell the lie that inflation is just “part of the cycle.” It’s not. It’s a planned, institutional theft of your purchasing power.
What 2026 Holds: Controlled Decline, Not Recovery
Economists expect inflation to stay in the 2.2% to 2.7% range in 2026. That’s the “goal.” But here's what they won’t say:
- That means prices will still rise another 2–3% on top of all the pain you’ve already felt.
- Wage growth is slowing, meaning you're working harder and getting less.
- Sectors like hospitality and food service will see price hikes due to worker shortages—caused in part by immigration policy and technological displacement.
- AI and automation will hollow out entire segments of the workforce, driving down pay even as living costs keep climbing.
That’s not a recovery—it’s controlled decline.
My Take: Inflation Is a Tool of Control
Let me be crystal clear: Inflation is not some natural weather pattern. It’s not a force of nature. It’s a policy choice, driven by:
- The Federal Reserve's money printing
- Corporate greed backed by monopoly power
- Tariffs and regulatory burdens that serve elite agendas
- Digital currencies like FedNow, which will track and control every dollar you spend
They’re engineering a world where you own nothing, rent everything, and depend on government scraps to survive.
Final Thought: The Pain Isn’t Over—It’s Just Being Repackaged
The biggest lie in the inflation report? That “progress” is being made. Progress for whom?
Not for the trucker filling up a diesel tank.
Not for the mom choosing between rent and groceries.
Not for the retiree watching their savings bleed out.
This system was built to rob the working class blind while enriching the very elites who created the crisis. And now they’re setting the stage for even more control—with digital currency, AI surveillance, and the media running cover every step of the way.
