[quote=sdrealtor]And the inflationary is not transitory now. If things go back down substantially we can say yes it was but for now its inflation. Only in the future can you make that claim. If prices dont pullback it wont have been transitory now wouldnt it[/quote]

“Transitory” inflation could mean one of three scenarios:
1.Prices rise and plunge.
2.Prices rise and stay where they are.
3.Prices rise and continue to rise, but more slowly.
