During an interview with Sky News host and NBC Contributor Wilfred Frost on Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated that inflation has declined from where it was and she believes “it will stabilize in the next year or so.”

In response to a question on poor economic polls, Yellen said, “Well, the pandemic was a difficult experience, consumers, households have been through a lot in the United States because of that. And what they do see is that the level of prices of things they bought just a couple of years ago is noticeably higher than it was back then. Now, it’s also true that wages have gone up and wages have gone up, on average, for Americans, a little bit more than prices have. But I think it’s still noticeable that the cost of living, when it comes to rent or groceries or gas, things that people buy every day, and they’re concerned about that. And President Biden has made his top priority trying to address the costs that households face and bringing it down in meaningful ways, whether it’s capping the cost of insulin that people rely on, health insurance, or energy prices. I would say that, when Americans are asked about their own financial position, the majority of Americans say that they’re doing well and they’re satisfied. Oddly, when asked about the economy as a whole, they’re less positive.”

She continued, “I think it’s our job as policymakers to talk to Americans about where things are, what’s been accomplished. We have the strongest job market in the United States we’ve seen in 50 years. As you said, growth has been exceptionally strong. Job creation has been enormous. And inflation is down by more than two-thirds, and I believe it will stabilize in the next year or so.”

How absurdly asinine.  Janet, you ignorant slut.

If you and Biden were gone inflation would be gone too.

I have the feeling that this statement is going to come back and haunt her like the “transitory” comment
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Inflation will "stabilize" means stuff gets more expensive at a less variable rate.

Correct.  Inflation will "stabilize" at 7% per annum.  And she thinks that's a good thing.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
