I feel like polls that ask the US public whether they expect prices to rise, stay the same, or fall are just deliberately taunting people for not having the first clue about how economies work, or failing that any recollection of history, ever.

@TomF It is one of the tools for media to lie without lying. The general principle is that as long as you attribute a lie to someone or something else, your headline is technically correct, even though it is perpetuating a lie.

A poll is not just asking random strangers, it is statistics, and therefore science, and therefore a highly reliable source.
