The White House on Monday seized on Cookie Monster’s post complaining about “shrinkflation.”

“C is for consumers getting ripped off,” the official White House account on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted in response to an earlier post by the “Sesame Street” character. “President Biden is calling on companies to put a stop to shrinkflation.

On Monday, Cookie Monster’s account on X posted that “shrinkflation” was getting him down.

“Me hate shrinkflation! Me cookies are getting smaller,” he wrote, with a sad emoji.

“Shrinkflation” refers to companies making their products smaller while keeping the same price.

Cookie Monster is going to come up for an IRS audit or an FBI raid ... coincidentally, of course! Rest assured that F-Joe Biden is on the case!

C is for consumers getting ripped off.

They are opening to border to terrorists, hardened criminals, spies, mentally ill people, and people who will soak up American taxpayer money, increasing our debt by a trillion dollars every 100 days, refusing to create budgets, destroying the military, giving our money to governments that hate us, trying to drag us into a world war, weaponizing our country's greatest foes AGAINST us, refusing to arrest or prosecute criminals and weaponizing the organs of government against American citizens...

AND THIS IS THE SH*T THESE INFANTILE JACKWAD STATIST PIECES OF CRAP FOCUS ON?

A fitting analogy for our time.

Yep all by design so that no one notices the 30 million illegals pouring into this country to make America one party rule

I saw Biden’s Shrinkflation not long ago. Six years ago I could buy 50 lb of dog food for $20. FIFTY POUNDS!
Three years ago the same bag increased it’s size to “New! Larger Size! 4 Extra Pounds for a total of 44 lb!” now $29.
Say what?
Then cylinder shaped bottles of energy drinks became slightly hour glass shaped bottles in a “New easier to grasp bottle!”
The number of ounces were less. Price the same.

What a shame that Cookie Monster and Sesame Street shows far more wisdom and understanding of current economic events than does the nursing home at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Dear liberal news outlets, y’all need to accept that X has established itself and knock it off with the slighting “formerly known as” tag.
