US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has faced criticism for her recent comments regarding grocery prices on June 26, 2024. When asked if she found the prices shocking, Yellen responded negatively, stating that she visits grocery stores weekly and does not find the prices surprising. This response has drawn backlash, with critics labeling her as out-of-touch with the struggles of average Americans who are experiencing the effects of inflation. Critics have pointed out that her millionaire status and role in the Biden administration may contribute to her lack of understanding of the financial pressures faced by ordinary consumers. Some have even accused her of gaslighting Americans regarding high grocery bills.
