The architect of Obamacare, Jonathan Gruber, famously said, “We relied upon the stupidity of the American voter“, when they lied about the changes to healthcare in order to get Obamacare passed into law. Today the White House Chairman of the National Economic Council, Brian Deese, pulled out the Gruber playbook and attempted the same level of nonsense to convince the media that food inflation wasn’t real.
The effort is to downplay the massive scale of food price increase. Watch a few minutes of his presentation as prompted below:

Just about everything Brian Deese stated in that segment about the root cause of food price inflation is false. He’s not mistaken, he is not getting it wrong, he is not looking at false assumptions, he is lying. He knows what he is saying is false…. he also knows it is abjectly silly on its face. The proteins are driven up by the skyrocketing feed prices underneath them.
If you take away the food products driving the highest price increases, the price increases don’t look quite as high. What the heck kind of bizarro-world spin is that? Yes, it is true, if I take the fork I stabbed you with out of your eye the headache might subside slightly. Good grief.
Wheat, corn and soybeans are the foundation of the U.S. food supply. They are primarily used as ingredients in processed foods, oils, and are fed to the cattle, hogs, and poultry that supply meat and eggs for the American diet. When those grain harvests go up in price, the downstream increase in price is far reaching. Additionally, the part about multinational corporations merging and profiteering is a little disingenuous considering Joe Biden recently increased the amount of food stamp assistance by 25% per recipient, and expanded the program.

Apparently the internet has been turned off for people in Australia. That is the only reasonable explanation for how their political leadership can keep claiming that vaccinated people cannot contract the COVID virus.
Biden’s inflation is crushing the middle-class. Gas prices are intentionally skyrocketing. Obama Term-3 policies are destroying jobs and the working class. The southern border is in crisis; widespread illegal immigration is alarming.

This is quite a stunning admission from Bloomberg, putting the spotlight on the White House:
While the financial punditry are jaw-agape with disappointment, these results are in line
