Good news in the latest inflation report.
The total CPI rose only 0.1% over the month, and 2.4% over the year.
"Core" CPI also rose only 0.1% last month, and is up 2.8% over the year.
Inflation's not back to where we want it, but these data are better than Wall St expected.

There's a lotta concern about the short run (ie recession or not) implications of Trump's agenda. Dani is right to point to the long run as far far more consequential.
Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.
