#hassett — Public Fediverse posts

Guy Smiley #Hassett was back on #FnS to #gaslight viewers, bragging about the T**** Economy, claim #tariffs are NOT increasing prices, #inflation is down and growth is up.

Okay, we already know the tariff claims are simple BS, but re: inflation…

#Inflation is down (slightly) b/c the economy is tanking, forcing stores to drop prices to boost sales.

Electricity prices are shooting up, leaving less money in consumer's pockets, suppressing sales, negating some of that inflation. #gaslighting

#SundayShowdown
Economic Council Director Kevin #Hassett on #FnS defended the firing of the #BLS Commissioner, citing "frequent revisions", questioning the timing of a DOWNWARD revision of "more than a million jobs" that "didn't come out until AFTER #Biden dropped out" (suggesting a partisan motive.)

PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME how delaying a bad revision HELPED Biden (or for that matter, #Harris) AFTER he dropped out??? 🤨
