The new Consumer Price Index data shows Joe Biden lied in his State of the Union when he said "inflation keeps coming down."
Since 2021, prices have risen 18.6%. The annual cost to families from Biden's inflation is now $12,000. Just look at eggs, which are up 49% since Joe Biden took office.
Wages are also not keeping pace with inflation. Real average weekly wages are down 4.2% under Biden. They rose 8.2% under President Trump.
