In an interview on Spectrum News’ Tying It Together this week, DC insider Michael Whatley falsely claimed costs and inflation are down. The truth?
Tariffs are driving up the cost of groceries, and wholesale inflation is at its highest rate in three years, a sign that costs could “imminent(ly)” increase even more for consumers.
Michael Whatley’s toxic agenda will only continue to spike costs for working families, making energy bills and health care more expensive and causing the average household in North Carolina to lose money – all to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
Whatley: What we have seen so far is that gas prices are down, grocery prices are down, inflation is down over the course of the last 7-8 months […] The fact is the economy is getting better right now. […]
Tim Boyum: You think people buy that grocery prices are down?
Whatley: Grocery prices are down. I mean, it’s absolutely a fact.
