While inflation declined from an annual rate of 3% in January to 2.9% in August, it has remained ahead of the Federal Reserve's 2% target. Politico's poll also had more telling numbers about specific instances where Americans are having to forego vital services: 27 %, said they have skipped a medical check-up because of costs within the last two years, and 23 % said they have skipped a prescription dose for the same reason."
"This data comes after Donald Trump held the first rally-style event in a tour to tout his self-proclaimed success in bringing down the cost of living. In a winding, 90-minute speech in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, the president called affordability a hoax (a stance he's repeated in recent weeks) and bashed Democrats and his predecessor, Joe Biden, for high prices. We're bringing them down, he insisted on Tuesday evening."
