The White House Thinks You Are Stupid

Inflation topped nine percent for the first time since 1981 on Wednesday, marking another escalation in consumer prices. Real wages also plummeted -3.6 percent, as Americans continue to have their finances squeezed from all sides.

There’s no end in sight, either. Even as consumer prices explode, Democrats in Washington are working to spend another few trillion dollars. As for any empathy concerning the plight of those in the poor and middle-class, don’t go to the White House for any. This was the statement they put out.

Let me translate that for you: You are stupid.

That’s the message the White House is conveying by putting out that insulting, nonsensical statement, in response to an inflation report that came in at nearly 15 percent higher than when Biden took office. Remember, the 9.1 percent number for last month is being compared year over year to June 2021. But inflation had already spiked over four percent by that point in Biden’s tenure.

Besides, the excuses being given don’t make any sense. Take the idea that energy represents almost half the monthly increase shown in the report. So, what? That would still mean inflation is at about 8.9 percent, higher than May’s 8.6 percent, and a record-high under the current president. That’s the positive spin the White House wants to roll with? Really?

No, we're hardly stupid, we're well aware of the crappola that's being inflicted upon us.  Most of us are feeling the pain in our wallets.

Stupid? No.

I think of this passage more and more every day:

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

We aren't stupid, just patient.

I don't think the CPI includes food or energy.  The actual rate is much higher than 9.1%.

We ran Trump out office impeaching him many times, and replaced Trump with Biden the demented mentally handicapped.  So would a more extreme word that STUPID be more descriptive?
