The annual rate of US inflation climbed to 7% in December, marking a 39-year high

Prices paid by U.S. consumers jumped 7% in December from a year earlier, the highest inflation rate since 1982. It’s the latest evidence that rising costs for food, gas, rent and other necessities are heightening the pressures on U.S. households.

At first, it didn’t even register as a threat. Then it seemed like a temporary annoyance. Now, inflation is delivering sticker shock to Americans at the supermarket, the gas station and more.

Grocery store shelves are empty, the supply chain is a mess, inflation is rising, and the President from the largest voter turnout in US history’s main concern is voter suppression.
