The November inflation numbers are in, and they're a disappointment for Democrats. The Labor Department reported Thursday that consumer prices rose 2.7 percent in November, compared with a year earlier. That's an improvement from the September rate of 3 percent.

Democrats have been banging away at the Trump administration of late on the "affordability" issue, sensing a political advantage. This is ironic from numerous perspectives.

Inflation was an afterthought........
