Inflation Unexpectedly Tumbles To 2.7%, Much Better Than Expected

John Carney 18 Dec 2025

Inflation unexpectedly fell in November, providing relief to U.S. consumers and supporting President Trump’s contention that the inflation crisis that began during his predecessor’s administration has been overcome.

The consumer price index rose 2.7 percent from a year ago, the Department of Labor said, down from three percent in September and below the 3.1 percent forecast by economists. The report was delayed by the shutdown of the federal government that stretched from early October through mid-November.

The prior CPI report released covered September’s prices. The October report was never released because the shutdown created gaps in the collection of data that the Department of Labor uses to construct the index.

Compared with September, consumer prices were up a very mild 0.2 percent, much less than expected.

Core CPI, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, rose 2.6 percent from a year ago. That compares with forecasts for a three percent gain. Compared with September, core prices are up 0.2 percent.

Congress still needs to get off its ass to pass deregulation legislation while the GOP still nominally controls both houses of Congress and the Presidency.

Passing budgets on time would help.

Passing budgets with reduced spending on time would be great.

Passing balanced budgets on time is the Holy Grail.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

They'll just move the goalposts that we're heading for a recession and Trump isn't doing a damn thing about it.

Yes, I guess those who doggedly said they were taxes and raised prices on everything as well as would bring us down as a country knew what they were talking about, right?

You're celebrating 2.7% inflation? I'd say the goalposts have already been moved.

Down the centuries, you have slurred the meaning of the words, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution". These words and the words that follow, were not written only for the Yangs, but for the Kohms as well! They must apply to everyone, or they mean nothing! - James Tiberius Kirk

That's lower than during the Reagan years, which started higher than Bidenflation and only made it down to about 4%. Carter was an economic trainwreck, too.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Name the last time it's been lower than that on a yearly basis.
