Addressing the press meet on Wednesday, White House General Secretary, Jen Psaki slammed meat conglomerates for “Jacking up prices” during the COVID-19 pandemic.
During her daily press conference, a reporter asked Psaki whether President Joe Biden agreed with progressive groups that ‘corporate greed is a big driver of inflation right now.’
She said, “I think that the President thinks the way people across the country, American families, digest inflation is by price increases. And if you look from industry to industry, it’s a little different.”
“The Secretary of Agriculture has both spoken to what we’ve seen as the greed of meat conglomerates. That is an area, one where people go to the grocery store and they’re trying to buy a pound of meat, 2 pounds of meat, 10 pounds of meat, it is the prices are higher,” Psaki said.
“That is, in his view and the view of our Secretary of Agriculture, because you could call it “corporate greed.” You could call it “jacking up prices during a pandemic,” She added.
