‘Corporate Greed’: Psaki Blames Big Meat for Soaring Food Prices
Daily Wire ^ | December 14th 2021 | Tim Pearce

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki blamed corporate greed on Tuesday when asked about the cause of soaring meat prices in the United States.

The price index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs has swelled 12.8% over the past year. For certain products, the increase is even more pronounced. The price of beef has soared in price 20.9% since December 2020, according to Department of Labor data.

Psaki passed the blame onto “meat conglomerates” that are taking advantage of the pandemic to gouge consumers at the grocery aisle.

Psaki’s answer echoed arguments put forward by Brian Deese, director of the White House National Economic Council, in a blog post last week. After the latest Labor Department data was released, the White House published an article by Deese blaming meat packers for the skyrocketing prices.

Jen Psaki blames everything but what is to blame for things the democrats are doing. But that is all she has, all she can do.

I doubt Raggedy Psaki has any experience with Big Meat.

I can see where she’s coming from. My first ex-wife always blamed all her problems on Big Meat.

Jen Psak-puppet ain’t into beef. I believe her tastes lie more in seafood.

It is a nudge. Moving us toward Bill Gates and his investment in Beyond Meat.

It is always much cheaper to produce any product if you do not have to follow government rules and regulations.
