Biden Administration's Janet Yellen Strikes Twice in One Week

You claimed she said she saw no difference in prices under Biden. That's not what she says in the story, is it?

 

I like how ET has adopted the use of “privileged position”. Soon he will be calling out other posters for their micro aggressions.

 

It's not a matter of splitting hairs. Words have meaning. She didn't say prices haven't risen. She said she's not in shock, not astonished when she walks into a grocery store and sees the prices. She also said she finds groceries affordable.
She and her husband are worth between $8 and $20 million according to reports. My net worth is a good bit less than that. I have no trouble affording groceries.
I'm not saying that no one does. I'm sure many do. But she was asked about herself.

At any rate, what she clearly didn't say is that prices haven't risen under Biden. You simply made that up.

 

Typical of this poster, more deflection. Poster stated Yellen lied...with zero evidence. Poster called out on it, but it was "splitting hairs"? Typical Heritage Foundation opinion hit piece, low on any facts,

 

Poster calls someone a liar, but it's "splitting hairs" when applied to him? No, I won't waste time on non-fact based Heritage hit piece. Feel free to present the "evidence" that Yellen lied though... how do we all know it won't be forthcoming?

 

She says SHE has no sticker shock. (Probably because she is a millionaire).

But she also admits that prices are up due to labor issues and "margin increases".

 

The column was a hit job on Yellen. Compared with prices a year ago or even two years ago I don't think anyone who went grocery shopping today would have sticker shock. Prices are only slightly higher. On the other hand if a consumer were magically transported from June 2020 to June 2024 he or she would indeed experience an extreme case of sticker shock. Yellen's reference was to the former not the latter.

 

This one doesn't even feel like a troll account like so many others do. I think this is genuine belief.

 

Granpa Joe and granny Janet both need to retire (quickly).

 

Out of touch with the American people is a fair criticism. You should have just lead with that instead of fabricating the part about her not seeing any price difference.

 

Unfortunately there isn't a viable alternative to "Grandpa Joe" at this point in time. The current alternative is even more cognitively diminished than Old Joe and on top his obvious decline he is also afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Disorder combined with extreme authoritarian tendencies.

 

You are repeating falsehoods, after having been corrected on them. What word would you like us to use to describe your behavior?

 

The worst alternative is Kamala Harris actually making policy decisions.
But of course, we all know this could be the 4th term of Barack Obama.

 

While Kamala Harris may have a likeability problem she is actually much better prepared for the presidency than Trump was back in 2016. She served four years as the Attorney General of the largest state in country, four years in the Senate and will have served at least four years as vice president. Despite the illusion that he was a business genius an image largely created by NBC to promote a successful reality television show Trump managed companies into bankruptcy six times including the only publicly-traded company that he managed which originally had a stock price of over $35 a share and ended up as a penny stock. He had to be bailed out by his father multiple times and he already a history of fraud including operating a fraudulent "university" and a charitable foundation whose primary charitable endeavor was enriching Donald Trump not to mention a history stiffing his employees and contractors. And although it wasn't public knowledge when he ran on a platform of controlling illegal immigration Trump also a history of hiring undocumented workers. In other words he contributed to a problem that he railed against.
