The Players in the Inflation Game!

They tell you inflation is “cooling.” But your grocery bill, your rent, and your gas tank say otherwise. So who’s lying?

Politicians: Masters of Spin

Politicians love low inflation—on paper.
Why?

• It makes them look like they’ve got things under control.
• It hides their screw-ups.
• And it keeps voters calm long enough to win the next election.

They don’t want you angry—they want you distracted.

The Ultra-Rich: Silent Winners

Guess who else loves “low” inflation? The ultra-rich and their corporations.

• Stocks soar.
• Wages stay flat.
• Borrowing stays cheap.
• And you swipe your credit card more often.

Every fake “inflation is under control” headline pumps their portfolios higher—while your paycheck buys less.

The Great Illusion

Official inflation numbers aren’t fake—they’re engineered. They exclude what really hurts: shrinkflation, housing, healthcare. The stuff you can’t escape.

So when they say 3%, and your life feels like 10%? That’s not bad math. That’s the system working exactly as designed.

The Ugly Truth

Low inflation headlines = political wins + billionaire profits.
Real inflation = your daily struggle.

And the gap between the two? That’s where the lie lives.

Because in this economy, the rich get richer, the politicians get re-elected, and you get the receipt.
