A cost-of-living scorecard with the dates left in view
A politics-focused site that fact-checks a super PAC’s cost-of-living scorecard, compares household costs across presidential windows, and offers a personal-cost calculator.
- For
- U.S. voters and households comparing cost claims
- Worth noticing
- A CPI-U chart covers 2006–2026, with the 2026 figure identified as a January–September average.
Field notes
The comparison table reports inflation, unemployment, and gas figures for four windows, including January 2021–July 2022 and January 2025–September or October 2026. Its longer CPI-U section names the BLS series and distinguishes the January–September 2026 average from annual averages. The homepage also lists agencies and research groups in a sources section, rather than presenting the figures without attribution.
