There has been a wave of positive economic news over the past week which I would like to highlight. Highlight Today Joe Biden's inflation crisis has been defeated. Prices paid to American businesses for goods and services were flat in June, which is lower than all 50 forecasters in the Bloomberg survey predicted. And core inflation, which is the best measure of inflation, came in lower than expected again in the month of June. (00:56–01:06)

CLAIM

Asserts that prices were flat in June, contrary to predictions by Bloomberg survey forecasters.
