White House press secretary Jen Psaki dismissed concerns about inflation and the rising costs of goods this week, claiming people aren’t comparing today’s prices to those of the past several years.

“We all understand the American people are not looking at cost-to-cost comparisons from this year to two years ago; they’re looking at cost-to-cost comparisons to their checkbooks from eight months ago or 12 months ago. And even though, factually, if you look back to two years ago, things may be comparative, that’s not how people look at things,” she said.
