Representative Marlin Stutzman, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Indiana’s 3rd congressional district, posted a series of tweets on August 12 and August 13, 2025, commenting on recent economic developments.
On August 13, Stutzman highlighted new consumer price index (CPI) data in a post stating: “New CPI numbers are in — and it’s more good news under Trump’s economy! Wages are outpacing inflation, and prices on everyday essentials are falling. Just in time for back-to-school season. https://t.co/R4Ge3w5UkM”
Earlier posts on August 12 included links to additional tweets: https://t.co/eTyGtUMlPr and https://t.co/GReWJ80XEM. The content of these linked tweets was not provided.
Stutzman’s remarks follow the release of updated CPI data, which is often used as an indicator of inflation trends in the United States. The relationship between wage growth and inflation has been a topic of ongoing discussion among policymakers and economists, particularly regarding its impact on household purchasing power during periods such as the back-to-school shopping season.
