You know things are bad when state media is admitting that inflation is still bad rather than trying to continue the propaganda effort claiming that our government is beating inflation.
They even admit here that it the everyday expenses such as electricity, rent, and gas prices are higher up. Which is probably why they are in damage control mode rather than "everything is fine, quit believing your lying eyes"' mode.
Losing Weight is not hard
That is fat acceptance propaganda
All you have to do to lose weight is do nothing and your body will spend the Calories
You have to do the action of eating which takes work to not lose weight
They are only claiming inflation is difficult to beat in order to say it is as hard as losing weight
To maintain the lie that losing weight is hard
2 lies
1 losing weight is hard
2 beating inflation is hard
It is easy for the government to beat inflation and it does not even require welfare cuts
Outlaw fractional reserve lending
Forgive all debts that involved fractional reserve lending
This would eliminate the national debt
The greatest expense is paying tax to pay interest on the national debt
Many but not necessarily all other countries would be OK with the USA forgiving all fractional reserve lended loans because their debts to the USA would be forgiven
Banks are FDIC insured
@shortstories you are correct. But think about the audience for NPR. They will eat this sort of thing up uncritically, and even those who are not overweight will just accept that "losing weight is so hard for some people".
The larger point is that they are admitting inflation is still bad. The "losing weight is hard" comparison is just an effeminate manifestation of their propaganda.
