After searing inflation, "American workers are getting ahead," Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says
"Americans should feel confident that inflation will come down to levels that will no longer really be noticeable or worrisome to them," Yellen told CBS News.
As of the end of 2023, the typical U.S. worker could afford the same goods and services as in 2019, prior to the pandemic, and had an additional $1,400 to spend or save per year, according to a January analysis by Treasury officials.
Demar Byas of Pontiac, Michigan referred to experts touting the nation's economic performance as a "slap in the face."
"You're celebrating these numbers, but we are struggling," said Byas, who juggles several jobs to make ends meet. "It's no relief in sight, and just say those numbers and to celebrate that, and as I said stuff becomes a slap in the face."
You're viewing a single thread.
Janet Yellen takes money from Goldman Sachs and many other K-street banks and continues to do their bidding.
All while unabashedly lying and shitting all over the American citizenry.
She’s been lying about inflation for YEARS now. She thinks we are clueless.
Correct.
Apparently Yellen has some fans in here who dislike facts/history.
So fucking weird, it’s all verifiable information. I’m sick and tired of being gaslit. This administration actually changed the definition of RECESSION
Every administration lies, but it has gotten completely ridiculous.
It was p.r bullshit to put a spin on it, but the actual institutions that "officially" declare a recession didn't change their definition.
It hasn't changed, the white house was just pulling typical spin bullshit, while those that actually have the final say on what state we're in didn't.
This fully supports my point, thank you 🙏
Why are you booing him? He’s right!
