But try this ......


WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. inflation picked up a bit last month as food costs rose, though overall inflation remained mostly tame.

Consumer prices increased 2.4% in May compared with a year ago, according to a Labor Department report released Wednesday. That is up from a 2.3% yearly increase in April. Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core prices rose 2.8% for the third straight month. Economists pay close attention to core prices because they generally provide a better sense of where inflation is headed.

It is plainly freer of the burden of tariffs, disproportionately applied to extravagences of the better off.

The better off will disproportionately benefit from tax cuts, so increased prices will be offset by the extra cash the better off will have at their disposal.

His link is actually trade price of eggs (30 cases). FOB, means delivery costs excluded. Its the price Free On Board, whuch means loaded onto a lorry etc, not delivered.

The egg prices refer to the national FOB average prices of white large eggs in wholesale markets, calculated based on the cost of 30-dozen cases of caged shell eggs.

Not discussing them with him, just showing the facts, and exposing his quick googlling.

Tariffs are a bit of a distraction from the real problem facing America, that is national spending is still greater than national production.
