Hour 2 -  Good Wednesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted Tuesday both that inflation was “essentially flat” and that it was OK for President Biden to host a large celebration of his Inflation Reduction Act — even though annual inflation remains elevated at 8.3%. The Gini index, a common measure of the inequality between the lowest and highest earners in a society, rose in America for the first time in ten years, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The poorest 10% of households saw their real incomes decline to $15,660 at most in 2021, almost 4.5% less than they made in 2020, according to the Census Bureau. The richest 10% of households made 13.53 times as much, making at least $211,956, up from 12.9 times as much in 2020.
