Alarmingly, inflation has become an ever-increasing concern in our society. This rate of inflation is disproportionately affecting those with lower incomes causing a rise in poverty levels. With the Consumer Price Index (CPI), an accepted measure of inflation, increasing approximately 5% in the last year (Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics), millions are facing financial strain. The Bureau also reports that the lowest 20% income-earners spend more than twice what they earn in a year, making inflation an even more severe threat to their livelihoods. This petition seeks urgent intervention from government bodies to establish measures controlling the spreading inflation.
