They are lying to us though. Inflation is and was higher than what they're saying it is.

Inflation isn't even across all states. Some states experience higher inflation than the national average.

Not OP, but where I _may_ agree with the sentiment is that inflation has a wide distribution of impact by the underlying category of goods/services. e.g. food, energy, electricity, shelter, apparel, etc.

Namely, even if average / median inflation is going down, inflation is still non-zero - and even still very high - in categories that significantly impact lower-income households, urban families, farmers, etc.

Just look at the economists who are calculating inflation using the 80s methodologies and it's been way higher that the public figure.

At which point I’m sure they’re considering their metropolitan statistical area’s figures instead of the national ones. /s
