Janet Yellen should have kept her mouth shut.
Millionaire Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen appeared out of touch when asked about inflation under President Biden — insisting she goes to the grocery store “every week” and isn’t shocked by the skyrocketing prices.
Yellen was quick to shoot down a question about grocery prices, which are up 20% from before the COVID-19 pandemic, during an interview with Yahoo Finance’s Jennifer Schonberger on Monday.
“Have you been to the grocery store lately?” Schonberger asked Yellen in the interview.
“I sure have — I go every week,” Yellen replied.
