Overseas Network, October 14 According to the US Fox News Network on October 13, data released by the U.S. Department of Labor on the same day showed that the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) in September this year increased by 8.2% year-on-year, and food prices rose by 11.2% year-on-year. Fox Business anchor David Asman criticized the federal government for its lack of action in dealing with inflation.
In a show on the 13th, Asman mentioned that food prices in September rose 11.2% compared with the previous year, while Bernstein of the White House Economic Advisory Committee defended the federal government's measures to reduce inflation. In response, Asman criticized the government for its lack of action in fighting inflation and asked why the government did not express more sympathy to Americans who are suffering from rising prices.
Asman said: "The lives of Americans are very painful. People now spend one-third of their income on food, and five years ago, they might only spend one-tenth of their income. People have to make a decision between eating meat or soybeans, and they also have to decide whether there is enough milk to give their children."
APH said that inflation in the United States in September has increased, bringing greater life pressure to American families. The increasing expenditure on grocery bills, rents and other necessities has brought difficulties to many people's lives, and people's pessimism about the US economy has further deepened.
