BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she was wrong about the path inflation would take following months of public statements over its perceived threat.

“I think I was wrong then about the path that inflation would take,” she said during a CNN interview. “As I mentioned, there have been unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that have affected our economy badly that I didn’t at the time fully understand. However, this is CNN, and per the conversation I had with your staff in the green room, we will collectively figure out a way to blame the inflation on republicans, former President Trump, and pro-life activists.”
