This is just them trying to set the stage to defang the biggest threat to Ol' Joe winning next year. Because you can write all the narratives you want about overseas wars and the border and random "issues" to get the normies agreeing with you.
But inflation is felt by everyone and it hits hard. And they know it will absolutely be the biggest weapon wielded against them for the entire election. So they are setting the stage now to say "its not happening, if it did its not our fault, and its probably a good thing anyway."
The only reason why the CPI (a.k.a. the CPLie) went down during 2023 is because energy prices are being manipulated down, whether it's dumping oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve or shorting shenanigans in the futures market. All other categories are still rising.
However, the SPR has a finite supply, unlike OPEC who can simply plug their wells and wait out the storm.
