CNBC host Rick Santelli said Thursday the United States under President Donald Trump was making “progress” in fighting inflation after the Department of Labor released new data.
The Producer Price Index (PPI) remained flat in February following a 0.6% rise in January and a 0.5% increase in December, according to a release from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Santelli said that the expectations were for an increase in the PPI, a prediction that turned out to be false.

“On the headline, expecting up 3/10. Up zero. Goose egg. Boy, that is progress. We haven’t had a number that low. Well, we equaled it in July of last year when we had another zero. To find a lower number, you’re back to October, October of ‘23 at -4/10,” Santelli said. “Strip out the all-important food and energy, down 1/10. Down 1/10. That’s 4/10 lower than expectations. Down 1/10 also equals July of last year. Find a lower number, you’re going back to Covid times. April of 2020. Now, let’s take the ex-food energy in trade. That comes in at up 2/10. That’s a 1/10 light to expectations. Up 2/10. How does that fit in? Well, that would actually be the lowest since it was up 1/10 in November of last year.”
“All right, let’s take a step back into macro. Year-over-year on the headline, 3.2. That’s a 1/10 cooler than expected, 3/10 less than 3.5 in the rearview mirror. And 3.2 would be the smallest month over month since 2.9 in November of last year,” Santelli continued. “Ex food and energy year-over-year comes in at 3.4., 3.4, that’s 1/10 lighter than expectations, 2/10 lighter than the rearview mirror. 3.4 equals where we were in November of last year. To find a lower number, you’re in September of ‘24. And finally, the sixth part of this PPI complex comes in at ex food, ex energy, ex trade, that comes in at 3.3, 3.3, that would be 1/10 lighter than expectations, 1/10 lighter than the 3.4 in the rearview mirror.”
Democrats have criticized Trump over high prices, especially the price of eggs, which has doubled since November 2023, according to the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank, fueled by the culling of tens of millions of chickens in response to a bird flu outbreak during the Biden administration. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
