Jen Psaki, White House Press Secretary, partially justified rising prices on everyday goods in an interview with Jake Tapper of CNN on Friday afternoon. She said that costs are rising because demand is growing, which she called “a good thing.”
“A year ago, people were in their homes, 10 percent of people were unemployed. Gas prices were low because nobody was driving. People weren’t buying goods because they didn’t have jobs,” Psaki said. “Now, more people have jobs, more people are buying goods, that’s increasing the demand. That’s a good thing.”
“At the same time, we also know that the supply is low because we’re coming out of the pandemic and because a bunch of manufacturing sectors across the world have shut down, because ports haven’t been functioning as they should be,” Psaki continued. “These are all things we’re working through.”
