The White House on Monday warned that headline inflation in March's Consumer Price Index (CPI) report will likely be "extraordinarily elevated" as a result of what they called "Putin's price hike."
"We expect March CPI headline inflation to be extraordinarily elevated due to Putin's price hike," White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters. "We expect a large difference between core and headline inflation, reflecting the global disruptions in energy and food markets." From Yahoo Finance, "Upcoming CPI report 'will not be pretty,' analyst says": Estimates support an increase in inflation at a rate greater than last month. While February recorded an average increase in prices of 7.9%, driven mostly by higher energy prices, March is expected to show somewhere around 8.5%, according to UBS economists' estimates.The White House and Democratic senators said just a few weeks ago while intentionally crashing the global economy that it needed to be done to fight Putin.
As Senator Chris Coons said, paying double for gas is "the cost of standing up for freedom."
Though the inflation wave we've been experiencing had its origins in the covid bailouts/shutdowns, the White House has been actively making the situation worse on the daily with endless sanctions aimed at shutting down Russia's energy exports.
