When the rate of inflation in a given country increases uncontrollably, but the media and politicians spin the story to say that the economy and people of said country are thriving.
Politician: “In the last 19 months we have worked together to make this country more affordable for all citizens…”
Media: “It truly is incredible how the President continues to decrease costs for the average citizen — all in less than 2 years!”
Average Citizen 1: “Bro, what are they talking about?! I pay a higher price for gas, water, electric, and food just about every month!”
Average Citizen 2: “This is just a textbook example of spinflation.”

When a lie snowballs into bigger lies (noun)
Spinflation occurs when more and more lies are needed to cover up for the original lie, or when a lie proves so successful other people start spreading the lie. Spinflation is like inflation, but instead of prices getting bigger, it's the lies that get larger.
