Inflation Lower than expected for February 2025
2025-03-12
[Bureau of Labor Statistics] The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.2 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis in February, after rising 0.5 percent in January, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 2.8 percent before seasonal adjustment.
When the government spends less, inflation falls — a shocking concept.
