- We STILL pay the Taliban $40 Million per WEEK. So 3 weeks x $40 Million = ?
- Do the math on how many HOURS that would pay the military salaries

Inflation Cools More Than Expected, No Signs of Tariff Pressure
Consumer prices rose less than expected in September, government data showed Friday, clearing the path for further rate cuts from the Federal Reserve and suggesting that tariffs are not weighing on household budgets.
The consumer price index increased 0.3 percent last month, down from the 0.4 percent in August. Economists had forecast a 0.4 percent increase.
Compared with a year ago, consumer prices are up 3.0 percent, slightly below the 3.1 percent forecast.
Core prices, a metric that excludes food and energy prices, rose 0.2 percent, below the estimate for 0.3 percent. Over the past 12 months, core prices are up 3.0 percent.
Food inflation, which soared in August, cooled in September. The index for grocery prices climbed 0.3 percent over the month, down from the 0.6 percent increase in August. Compared with a year ago, grocery prices are up 2.7 percent. The prices for dining out rose just 0.1 percent, a slowdown from the 0.3 percent increase in August. Compared with a year ago, restaurant prices are up 3.7 percent.
Energy prices were a major source of inflation in the month, rising 1.5 percent in September and 2.8 percent from a year ago. Gasoline prices climbed 4.1 percent in September but are down 0.5 percent from a year ago.
