I’ve said it before, but you almost have to respect the brazenness with which the Biden administration chooses to gaslight the American public. They know the game and they aren’t afraid to play it, knowing that the compliant mainstream media will back them every step of the way.
Evidently, it is the fight for the definition of recession that has been causing havoc in a country known for having two consecutive quarters of negative growth. The White House’s own top economic advisor, Brian Deese, has flip-flopped on the technical definition of a recession. It was even worse that Deese’s shift was almost exactly verbatim.
Deese’s week of absurdity didn’t end there, though. Deese also made some very funny comments about the skyrocketing food costs Americans have to deal with.
White House economic adviser Brian Deese: “With respect to food, […]Americans are being hit hard by high prices, however, it is not like other places, such as those in countries facing famine.

If you had “at least we aren’t in a famine” as an argument the Biden administration would make to excuse the current 9.1 percent inflation, collect your winnings at the window. The White House and this man could not be more outof touch. The message is basically “yeah, food prices are high, but you could be starving on in the desert.”
I don’t know about everyone else, but I don’t live in the United States simply to avoid the pitfalls of nation famine. Americans are aware of a basic expectation that we will be a bit behind in terms of our country’s progress. This is rightfully true. But I guess there’s nothing bad that the Biden administration won’t bring back into style.
Let’s also understand how hall-of-fame level the goalpost moving is here. Deese, back in 2021 was answering questions about food prices.

I remember thinking at the time how ludicrous it is to say that if you take out meat prices, the one thing that essentially everyone buys every single trip to the grocery store, that prices aren’t all that bad. Yet, somehow we’ve gone from that to “at least we aren’t in a famine.” I guess that’s technically true. For this great achievement, would the administration be happy to receive a cookie?
It’s not shocking that this happens. Deese is a World Economic Forum hack who probably believes in the moniker that “you’ll own nothing and be happy.” That he’d treat Americans like serfs that should be grateful for their crumbs is expected, and it shows the danger of the globalist ideology pushed by the WEF continuing to infiltrate the US government. These people don’t care about the middle class. To build their utopian world order, they want it destroyed. That’s how you get our current energy policies and constant proclamations from the White House that it’s actually a good thing that gas prices are high. It’s just accelerating the “transition,” after all.
Biden and his associates see Americans as nothing more than pawns. You will pay higher grocery prices, and if you complain, you’ll be lectured on your supposed privilege. I find it hard to believe most voters approve of this kind of stuff, but I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
