Maybe, instead of predicting what they think will happen, they should buy a loaf of bread, a gallon of gas, or a used car and see exactly what is happening.

CPI is going up 5.3 percent annually the past two months. Consumers aren't stupid, and if anything inflation expectations and reality alike will be more than 4 percent per year;
Meanwhile, the left is just mad at Manchin for being stubborn about a 3.5 trillion dollar bill, and raising our corporate taxes to a level higher than even China. There's a reason the fed itself surveys consumers, and why Veritas/others want the fed to turn it's focus to inflation.

LOL at liberals (economic idiots) telling consumers to not believe their lying eyes and lying wallets and to instead believe forecasts by liberal keynesian economists who have thus far been VERY wrong about almost everything.
Wow! Thanks Fed! It is really is awesome how much inflation has gone up since your creation!

Makes one wonder if these the same economists that routinely get employment numbers off by massive margins.Old McDonald said:

those figures are consumer expectations, the Fed isn't predicting them. it took a survey of households to determine consumer expectations and the numbers in OP are the result of the survey. when economists were polled they predicted lower numbers.

I'm amazed that some of you believe you are smarter than the fed. It's mind blowing.
The article says the 4% is based on consumer expeditions. Basically all of the doomsayers believe inflation is 4%. It's completely detached from reality.
A better metric is that the market is pricing inflation at 2.5%. That's only .5% above the feds target, and is hardly something to be concerned by.
If you had two brain cells to rub together you would be very embarrassed by this post.

If a Republican was in the White House the fed would've tripled interest rates by now. They're much more aggressive w rate hikes when they wanted to slow growth for W or DjT
Federal Reserve is off by another 6+ %.

I'm amazed you think the fed is smarter than your average citizen.
The fed is enabling, and advising us to print money, and to go deeper into debt. Pretty sure if I explained it to my 4 year old she would know better.

According to the "72" rule, inflation at 5% will cut your money's value in half in 72/5=14 years.

Throw out those retirement projections!
The only thing that's going to slow inflation down materially is reduced energy costs and/or a substantial increase in the Federal Reserve interest rates.
Today's 25 basis point increase and no policy changes for fossil fuels isn't going to slow anything down.
