Stuart Varney on Biden’s ‘zero’ inflation claim: We know we’re worse off, despite what the president says

President Biden claims there was "zero" inflation in July

During his latest "My Take," "Varney & Co." host Stuart Varney discusses Biden claiming that there was zero inflation in July, arguing Americans are "getting worse off" despite what the president says about it.

STUART VARNEY: In the financial world, inflation is a cold calculation. 

How will price hikes affect profits? There's a lot of number crunching, not much emotion.

For the rest of us, inflation is anything but a cold calculation: it’s real. 

You feel it. And you feel it every day. And you react to it by changing your habits. It’s that personal.

INFLATION HAS SHOPPERS FEARING BACK-TO-SCHOOL ITEMS WILL STRAIN BUDGETS

It’s why President Biden went out of his way to say there was "zero" inflation in July.

Here's what a trip to the grocery store looks like these days...

Eggs, margarine, flour, coffee, soups, chicken, lunch meat, cereals, snacks. You name it, and the price has gone up... A lot!

Anything from 16, 19, 20, 30 percent higher.

It comes home to you at the checkout. That’s when you feel it. And that’s when it becomes a political issue.

We know we're getting worse off. No matter what the president says.
