Yellen: We Still ‘See Increases’ in Important Prices, But People Will See We’ve Improved Economy
Breitbart ^ | 11/20/2023 | Ian hatchett

On Monday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen acknowledged that “Americans still see increases in some important prices, including food, from where we were prior to the pandemic.” And responded to poor polling data on the economy by stating that “it’s our job to explain to Americans what President Biden has done to improve the economy. I think as inflation comes down, prices stop rising, and the labor market remains strong, Americans will begin to see that we have made meaningful progress.”

Important prices? That’s a new one for me.

I guess that’s her way of saying, “You won’t be able to buy the things you want or need.”

But the economy is good!

Biden is our Potemkin President: dressed up each day by his staff to look good, barely hiding the rot and ineptitude and corruption he REALLY is.

Americans won’t actually be seeing an improved economy, but they’ll be constantly told that they are.

That seems to be the most important skill to possess if you want to be a Biden administration flunky.

A female POC who can lie with a straight face is even better!

“It’s our job to explain to Americans what President Biden has done to improve the economy..."

You can't gaslight people on how expensive everything has gotten. It's something we experience every time we stand in the checkout line at the grocery store and see first hand how it costs more and more to buy fewer and fewer groceries.

We voted for it. Most of us voted for the Democrat. So there you go.
