The inflation crisis caused by Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress showed no signs of slowing down towards the end of 2021, with new data showing prices surged 7% in December: the fastest rate since 1982.

“The consumer price index rose 7% in December from a year ago, according to a new Labor Department report released Wednesday, marking the fastest increase since June 1982, when inflation hit 7.1%. The CPI – which measures a bevy of goods ranging from gasoline and health care to groceries and rents – jumped 0.5% in the one-month period from November,” reports the Fox News Channel.

 

 

“We have food shortages and inflation here. Our government is sending over $300 million to the Taliban. Put that in your gas tank this morning,” posted a former Navy SEAL on Twitter.

“Price increases were widespread: Although energy prices fell 1.1% in December from the previous month, they’re still up 29.3% from last year. Gasoline, on average, costs 49.6% than it did last year. Food prices have also climbed 6.3% higher over the year, while used car and truck prices – a major component of the inflation increase – are up 37.3%. Shelter costs, which make up nearly one-third of the total increase, jumped 0.4% for the month and 4.1% year-over-year, the fastest pace since February 2007,” adds the outlet.
