Amid skyrocketing inflation, White House recommends Americans ‘stop being so poor’
WASHINGTON, DC—Amid record skyrocketing inflation, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre suggested a few things to help them through the difficult financial times.
“The first thing you should do with all this inflation is stop being so poor,” Jean-Pierre said at her daily press conference. “It’s not the president’s fault you’re not richer.”
The recommendation follows a similar recommendation by the Biden Administration Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for people who can’t afford high gas prices to buy a horse and buggy.
“It’s not rocket science,” Jean-Pierre said, “just become rich and then inflation won’t affect you as much.”
Jean-Pierre has several other suggestions to help survive high inflation:
- Put more money in your bank account
- Become a millionaire by condemning income inequality
- Get richer
- Stop being so poor
- Vote for the same people who are raising inflation
Jean-Pierre expects all of you peasants to be richer the next time she sees you.
