pressures. as you reported in november we learned the monthly rate of the cpi was up .8%, a tick down from october at .9. year-over-year elevated prices and why we re doing everything we can to get to the root of this, to get rid of some of the smarls in the supply chance to help make sure american family budgets are able to keep up with these dynamics. one of the things we like to point out in that regard is that if you actually look at people s incomes they are $100 per month above where they were a year ago having a lot to do with the strong labor market and many of the relief measures this president has signed into law. dana: however, that $100 goes pretty fast if you look at the gas prices and increased food prices. it is inflation adjusted to be clear. dana: one of the ways the president has said he can try to address this is by passing his build back better bill but there are some problems from getting americans to go along with that.
