Inflation is actually down 1500%. Maybe more....

This will be a talking point coming out of the White House very soon.

Sure, the number will be different--that part is hard to predict--but the message will be the same. It is their go-to move.

And how is this remotely possible?

Because Iran was--they will say--two weeks from detonating a nuclear weapon...somewhere.

Had this happened in two weeks (or whatever ridiculous timeframe they will claim) then the world would have been thrown into economic chaos. Forget that 3% inflation number--it would have exploded along with the mushroom cloud. So really, inflation is WAY down!

And no, the price of gas is not up 14% this week because of the "war"; it is actually down 1400% from where it was heading if we hadn't bombed Iran and stopped that "impending" nuclear attack.

You ungrateful Americans should be thanking us they will say.

Because that's what they do: they lie about the mess they "inherited" and when their solutions make things worse they just claim that it would have been so much worse otherwise.

I'm sure we will get a "Truth" any minute telling us all about it....
