Associated Press Still Lying

Here is their latest fib:

Inflation Pressures ease, despite food price jump

Associated Press / Online

By Martin Crutsinger

WASHINGTON - Inflation pressures eased a bit in April despite the biggest jump in food prices in 18 years.

The Labor Department reported Wednesday that consumer prices edged up 0.2 percent last month, compared to a 0.3 percent rise in March.

The lower inflation reflected a flat reading for energy. That helped offset a 0.9 percent jump in food costs as the prices of many basic items, from bread and milk to coffee and fresh fruits, all increased.

Well you can imagine how happy I was to learn that energy costs have only gone up 0.2 percent last month according to AP. I suppose the Labor Department does not consider gasoline for my car to be energy. Also the power company already has tripled my electric rate in the past year so that did not have to go up - it was already there.

But you guys keep listening to these idiots telling you how wonderful the economy is then see if that makes your paycheck go a bit farther. Everyday I wake up to the government and mass media asserting nonsense that makes me look good and they like the pack of lying jackcals that they are.

But you folks can continue believing them if you gain some comfort in that ostrich hole. Let me know if it fills your tank up or your stomach.
