White House economic adviser says U.S. better off than countries ‘facing famine’

During the White House press briefing, the National Economic Council director argued that the U.S. is not on the brink of a recession and that the state of the economy, which hit a whopping 9.1% inflation rate in June, could be a lot worse than it is currently.

"I think that our economy is more resilient to the types of challenges that we face," Deese said. "For example, with respect to food, we're a net exporter of agricultural commodities. And obviously, the high prices are hitting Americans very hard, but in a way that is different from some places that are facing famine, for example."

Set the bar low enough and anything can be a resounding success.

Famine caused by the WEF and pressured governments. Pure evil.

You know, the kids in the newspaper cartoon “The Family Circus” have far better logic and excuses than the White House Collection of Low IQ studies major clowns.

Hasn’t made a dent in Democrat voter brains. Same s**theads in my neighborhood who put up SloJoe and the Ho signs for the last election have Democrat candidate signs up already. You would think that they might possibly think that they’d be thought to be idiots, but no they wear the mark of the beast, proudly proclaiming their ignorance for all to see.

We’re so blessed. Some people don’t even have a quarter to call a truck to run them over.

What a stupid comment. I mean, we were better off than Bangladesh in the early 1970s, too.

Having a foot cut off is better off then being dead.

But let's test it shall we?

Who in the White House will volunteer to be the test subject and who will be the control?

We are not facing famine? Look at the projections. The CCP takes the crops raised in the US for their OWN use and a pervasive drain on the availability of foodstuffs here in the US draws the noose tighter and tighter. As with oil, the US will be forced into the position of importing food staples, like wheat, corn and soybeans, because the limitations on fertilizer and fuel to run the agricultural implements to till, plant, harvest and transport our own will be denied to the farm community, either by price or rationing.

Thank you, World Economic Federation and Klaus Schwab. You are truly forward thinkers. (Do I HAVE to include the /sarcasm tag with that last statement?)
