The Inflation Guy has hopes and dreams too, you know. In this episode, the Inflation Guy muses about things he'd like to accomplish in 2023 - and also suggests some things that you, the listener, ought to resolve. Kinda presumptuous if you ask me, but they just pay me to write the summaries.

In this edition of the monthly CPI report review, the Inflation Guy examines the small downside surprise in today's report, and blames Christmas. The Inflation Grinch explains that as it happens Christmas comes but once a year, but in 2022 more of it seems to be in November. Or something like that. To be honest I was too hopped up on eggnog to follow.

The inflation report this month was much more tame than economists expected, leading to a raucous rally in the markets. Seriously, they needed a break. But is this a little premature? The Inflation Guy in this episode breaks down not only the CPI - and the weird technical adjustment in health insurance that caused much confusion - but also the inflation impact of the midterm election results. Headache, indeed!

The Inflation Guy has asked the question before and it was the topic of last month's CPI report: are we "there" yet? The answer, evidently, is no. Today's inflation report was another high surprise, and moreover the parts of the CPI where a wage-price spiral would show up...are becoming worrisome.

A listener wrote in to ask about whether the analogy (Ep. 37) about price being the fulcrum between buyers and sellers in the economy has different implications when the buyers are competing on different terms. What if one guy buys all the butter? This would make the Inflation Guy sad, because he loves butter - but more deeply, the answer to the question bears on what the function of the price system is, and when it can be said to be "not working."

It seems that we keep thinking that inflation has reached a peak, and that inflation pressures are on their way back down. The market seems to have gotten very confident about that fact. In this episode, the Inflation Guy asks and answers the question...are we there yet?

Two weeks ago, President Biden waved his hand and forgave billions of dollars of tuition debt. Predictably, many have called this super-inflationary because of the increase in the deficit it entails. Is it? The Inflation Guy may surprise you with his answer, and with his warning for Republican strategists.
