We were starting to wonder if she was gone for good, but no, Jen Psaki is back at the podium, baby!

And she’s picking up right where she left off: lying through her teeth.

.@PressSec is asked what the White House plans to do in order to help businesses who are concerned about losing even more employees due to vaccine mandates.

Maybe Jen’s been living in a cave this past week or something.

More good economic stuff:

Jen Psaki just flat-out denies Tax Policy study showing middle income Americans getting hit with some higher taxes.

“It actually doesn’t.”

It actually does, though:

On the other hand:

Well, how could it raise taxes if the bill actually costs nothing? https://t.co/fyNbW2v9dC

Good point!

.@PressSec on the inflation crisis:

"Everyone from the Federal Reserve to Wall Street agree with our assessment that inflation is already expected to substantially decelerate next year…Our view is that the real risk here is inaction." pic.twitter.com/tZBlb1pdxl

Forcing people to either pay through the nose or not go anywhere is a great way to invest in clean energy options!

Jen Psaki decries talk about inflation affecting the lives of the American people as a "political cudgel": "A lot of talk about inflation…has been — it's become has a political cudgel, and it shouldn't be. It's impacting, as you said, millions of Americans." pic.twitter.com/lWoTWMCTSH

And Jen Psaki is literally arguing that the millions of Americans being affected by inflation should be paying more for gas:

Now is not the time for inaction! Now is the time for doubling down:

"The rise in gas prices over the long term makes a stronger case for doubling down our investment and clean energy options,” says Jen Psaki

Watch:

Seriously, the Biden administration needs to stop helping Americans before we all starve.
