W.H. Economic Adviser Boushey: Recovering from Pandemic Is ‘The Reason That We See Inflation Today’
Breitbart ^ | 06/03/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 06/03/2022 7:01:47 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” White House Council of Economic Advisers member Heather Boushey stated that “the reason that we see inflation today is because we’re recovering from this historic global pandemic.”

Boushey said, “Well, let me be very clear, you know, the reason that we see inflation today is because we’re recovering from this historic global pandemic. So, the president has outlined a number of steps that he is taking to make sure that we contain inflation. One of them is letting the Federal Reserve do their job. But another set of them is making sure that he does what he can and what the administration can do working with Congress to lower the costs facing families. So, everything from, looking at all the different ways that we can lower costs for families. So, everything from the work that he’s done with allies to release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, to really asking Congress to partner with him to lower key costs for prescription drugs, for energy, for child care, for other things that are really pinching family budgets in this time of high inflation. I mean, we don’t have a magic wand to fix it. The Fed will do its job. But part of what we need to do is to recognize that recovering from a historic pandemic was never going to be easy. We are not the only country facing inflation. And so, focusing on these supply-side issues, focusing on how we can help families is the most important thing.”

I thought that they had already used that excuse. Are they “circling back” to reuse excuses?

If she had said "recovering from this historic global pandemic hysteria" instead it would have lent a little credence to the statement.

They are testing every excuse under the sun, but none of them have worked or will work. People KNOW it’s all Biden and Dem doing, no matter how much they polish their message turds.

So the pandemic caused this inflation. What’s wrong with this idiot? Everybody knows that this inflation was caused by Putin, Trump, Climate Change...and maybe also the NRA. Ms. Boushey really has to get with the program.

The brainwashing continued. Reckless spending and close to 40 trillion in debt.

Attacking the infrastructure of the USA could not possibly be the reason.

Seems I remember someone else saying something similar and then along came Trump who waved his magic wand.

They have been all about excuses today and nobody is buying it. Excuses don’t help anyone. These jerks would lose big time if they didn’t cheat.

PQ = MV

Price = (Money Supply * Velocity) / Quantity of Goods

— Money Supply is high, due to QE (Obama), especially the most recent QE (Trump)
— Velocity is high, now anyway, but was depressed due to the fake-PCR-test-induced scamdemic lockdowns (Trump, who listened to Fauci)
— Quantity is low, due to China’s artificially caused supply chain issues (Biden) and the worthless Russian energy disruption (Biden)

So, yeah, Price is high. Due to GOVERNMENT-created Covid effects

—Correction: Money supply is also high due to Biden’s continuing QE and deficit spending

Well, it’s true...

If the pandemic had not come around, we’d still be in the booming Trump years.

But, the pandemic did happen, and everything went to heck...

And then, Biden promised to end the virus...

And people believed him... and voted for him...

So, with Biden in charge, he kills the oil pipelines and starts the war on fossil fuels and with the price of fuels going up because of Biden’s war on fossil fuels, everything else followed suit...

so, yeah, voting for Biden because of the pandemic caused inflation. It wasn’t the pandemic itself but the result of the election because of the pandemic.

So, the lady is right, without exactly why she is right.
