And I would have LOVED it if Psaki had said something along the lines of

"If utility companies feel the justification to pass on increased taxes on their profits to consumers maybe there needs to be greater regulation of those utility companies - is that what you are suggesting? That we add greater utility company price regulations to the bill? I can discuss that with President Biden if you'd like me to."

Psaki is good, the best I've seen. She flat out told them their dogma didn't work in 2017 and it's not going to work now.

All they can do is stutter and stammer and try to restate their dogma because they've got nothing else. They are absolutely empty, not even any fumes left to keep their machinery ticking over.

Of all Biden's staff, Psaki is the one I'm enjoying the most. She doesn't suffer those fools, at all, while being unfailingly polite.

He was such a joke. He gave these big breaks to the corporations who never gave the money to their people and then he created new taxes in the forum of tariffs on other countries.

The price of goods went up. I saw it clear as day. But most people didn't realize that a lot of it was the orange man's tariffs.
