Inflation is coming down and what remains high is housing rent, but that too is showing signs of decline over the next few months.

I guarantee you that by election day 2024 Biden is going to win big. People who look at polls today and think that Trump even stands a chance, are in for a big surprise.

Rents are not declining; they're at an all time high and still growing. Inflation, even though lower, is still positive, which means prices are still rising.

Where is that graph someone posted that showed inflation rates falling but had that asterisk that excluded food, rent, (and basically everything else that matters most). Tl;dr inflation is down on all the stuff you can't afford anyway.
