The most recent Consumer Price Index report, released in early July, detailed that annualized health insurance costs are now up an eye-popping 17.0% over last year.  Moreover, ApartmentList.com reports that annualized rent costs have surged another 14.1%, despite 2021’s record setting increase of 17.5%.  Should Nebraskans believe mainstream media’s claim that “Biden inflation” has now peaked?
