This morning, on the Fox Business channel, a video clip was presented where Biden asserted corporate price gouging. Below is an associated article.
Below is the unbelievable (gaslighting) statement that gets a somewhat free pass.
The also brings me to a parallel example of Biden's economic gaslighting. Biden glowingly remarks on how he is bringing down "the deficit". Biden may be spending less, but he is still adding significantly to the national debt. We are still going broke. Biden appears to be purposely conflating deficit spending with the national debt to gaslight the gullible public into believing that by bringing down "the deficit" he is also paying down the national debt. A lie. (Some members of Congress also play that disingenuous game.) Unfortunately, there is a shortage of pundits exposing that Biden lie.
‘Stop the price gouging’: Biden hits corporations over high consumer costs
Big business and junk fees prove easy targets for the White House in the inflation blame game.

To its credit, the article does note:“Any corporation that has not brought their prices back down, even as inflation has come down, even as the supply chains have been rebuilt, it’s time to stop the price gouging,” Biden said.
Unfortunately, the Fox Business pundits, while slamming Biden, did not explicitly make the above observation. Which may leave many viewers uniformed. Which is my segue to the next point. Fox pundits repeatedly arrogantly assert that the US public sees through Biden's economic gaslighting. Well - if the statements made by the Fox pundits were true; then Biden's approval ratings would be close to 0%, not the approximate 40%. Seems that a massive percentage of the US public is gullible to the Biden lies. Which portends trouble for the Republicans in the upcoming presidential election.While it’s true that the annual rate of inflation has cooled from its high last summer, this doesn’t translate directly into falling consumer prices. It only means that prices are rising at a lower rate.
