Jen Psaki denies that ending unemployment benefits has anything to do with today's job numbers

The White House’s victory lap over today’s jobs report left out some important context. Here’s one such example:

You left out the part where there was a pandemic — in which government and bureaucrats made the choice to deliberately destroy our economy and jobs — and now, businesses are returning to normal and hiring again. Context. https://t.co/25zjm970Ax

That’s a painfully obvious truth. But lucky for White House press secretary Jen Psaki, truth isn’t her job, so she denied that ending enhanced unemployment had anything to do with today’s jobs numbers:

Jen Psaki says that the White House sees no evidence that ending unemployment benefits "had any impact on todays incredibly strong numbers."

Instead, she points to higher government spending and vaccines. pic.twitter.com/CSTXRsez2V

Riiiiight.

Right, because giving people more money to sit at home than to work coming to an end wouldn't prompt people to…I don't know…work.

That's just crazy talk. https://t.co/8T19dwDgnQ

Shorter Jen Psaki:
"SQUIRREL!!!"

Again, the Biden White House wants everybody to believe what they say instead of their own lying eyes.
