Washington Bigwig Makes Biden Confession: Yellen Admits Joe’s Spending Has Caused American Inflation To Jump

Most economic experts don’t agree that the war in Europe is 100% responsible for this record inflation, despite the messaging from Biden’s team.

Many point toward the sheer amount of spending in the past few years — to combat the pandemic, the federal government spent trillions.

And this cannot be ignored, said Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

During an interview with Wall Street Journal editor-in-chief Matt Murray, Yellen admitted that rampant spending absolutely contributes to inflation across the board.

As she said (via The Blaze):

So look, inflation is a matter of demand and supply, and the spending that was undertaken in the American Rescue Plan did feed demand.

But I do think it was justified and appropriate at the time, given the risks the economy faced.

Yellen added that predictions were grim when Biden took office.

In reply, the new President continued to spend to battle high unemployment and the fact that so many were out of work. This translated to a desperate need for action.

She then said the high inflation was an “unintentional result” of the administration trying to steer America away from a recession.

However, most polls show that many put the blame squarely on Biden for this inflation. Millions also think he’s more to blame than Trump or the war.

With inflation the worst it has been since the early ’80s and the overall cost of living continuing to rise, many citizens want to hold the President responsible.
