Jen Psaki Faults Americans’ Spending Habits for Economic Woes: ‘Root Cause’ of Supply Chain Problems

White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday faulted Americans’ pandemic-time spending habits for rising prices and widespread supply-chain failures.

“What’s your message to Americans who are still so worried about their Christmas gifts on time, [and] Halloween?” a reporter asked Psaki at the daily White House press briefing. “Is this going to be happening at a fast enough pace?”

The White House’s message, Psaki replied, was that Americans were spending too much.

“Well, I think our message is that, one, what’s happening right now… is that so many people across the country are purchasing more goods online,” Psaki replied. “Maybe some of it is from habits that developed during the pandemic when people weren’t leaving their homes.”

“Some of it is because we’ve seen an economic recovery that has been underway for the last nine months,” she added. “That is leading to a massive increase in volume. That’s what’s happening at ports. But what we would tell people is we are addressing and attacking the supply chain issues, even with the increased volume, which is the root cause here.”

Good Lord is she industrial-grade STUPID.

“People are spending a lot because we have an economic recovery.” Cart before the horse, much? Confusing Cause and Effect much?

Spending habits were no different when Trump was president. She’s a relly bad liar.

I wonder if Jane Curtain is still alive? If she is, she needs to make a PSA on the old Saturday Night Live News set saying, “Jen, you ignorant slut!”

She brings new and deeper meanings to the term “ignorant s***”.

Her repulsive personality adds to the magic.

American spending habits are the engine for the world’s economic growth. If we slowed down buying, the world would suffer. If we suddenly stopped buying, billions would starve.

Why did Americans only get stupid after Trump left office?
