Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has faced criticism for her comments regarding grocery prices. In an interview with Yahoo Finance on Monday, Yellen stated that she goes to the grocery store every week and does not experience 'sticker shock,' despite grocery prices having increased by over 20% since President Joe Biden took office. Critics argue that Yellen's net worth of $20 million makes her out of touch with the financial struggles faced by average Americans. This comes amid broader concerns about inflation under the Biden administration, with prices for groceries, rent, and electricity all seeing significant increases.
