Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen tried to defend President Joe Biden‘s economic policies by suggesting all people are better off now than they were before his inauguration.

Yellen appeared on CNBC’s Squawk Box on Thursday to issue a response to a poll that found most people in the United States believe the country is undergoing a recession. Notably, Biden’s 2024 opponent former President Donald Trump has polled better on questions surrounding the economy, as potential voters view his policies better than Biden’s.

The treasury secretary cited the Congressional Budget Office, a nonpartisan group that recently submitted an analysis of people’s purchasing power in each income group. In this analysis, the CBO examined data from last year versus 2019, before Biden took office and before the country experienced COVID-19.

“All Americans, both those who are well off and those who are near the bottom of the income distribution, are better off now that wages have risen more than prices,” Yellen summarized the findings.

If people do not believe that they’re doing financially well in their own personal life, then they are not doing well in their own personal financial life.

Yellen’s  lecturing is an insult to them

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Even more so when you consider how many of us she must not consider "people".

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
