Every morning we pull the government's own data and show you exactly how much. Three minutes. One brief. Free.
Producer prices came in hot for a second straight month. PPI rose 0.5% month-over-month and 2.9% year-over-year. That's the cost of making things. Those costs get passed to you at the checkout counter with a delay, not a discount.
The government borrowed $6.12 billion yesterday. It did the same thing the day before. CPI says 2.4%. M2 says 4.3%. That gap is 1.9 points. Not a rounding error. If your raise was 3%, you are losing ground at 1.3% per year. Silently. Permanently.
This continues for three more sections. Every morning.
Government data. Sound money signals. No financial advice. No paywall.
