Spinflation

When the rate of inflation in a given country increases uncontrollably, but the media and politicians spin the story to say that the economy and people of said country are thriving.

Politician: “In the last 19 months we have worked together to make this country more affordable for all citizens…”
Media: “It truly is incredible how the President continues to decrease costs for the average citizen — all in less than 2 years!”

Average Citizen 1: “Bro, what are they talking about?! I pay a higher price for gas, water, electric, and food just about every month!”
Average Citizen 2: “This is just a textbook example of spinflation.”
