Democratic Washington state Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal dismissed inflation as a “theoretical word” ahead of House Democrats’ final push to pass tax and climate spending legislation.
Speaking to reporters outside Capitol Hill Friday, Jayapal, who chairs the House Progressive Caucus, said that inflation was “a theoretical word that economists use” to describe everyday price increases that families experience. At the same time, Jayapal explained that the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” would lower everyday costs for Americans.
A clip of Jayapal speaking to Fox News reporter Hillary Vaughn was shared by The Post Millennial. “It is ultimately going to lead to a reduction in overall inflation, but most importantly, to the budget that people have every single day,” Jayapal said. “Inflation is, like, a theoretical word that economists use, but what families feel every day is the up or down of costs.”

“My congresswoman, Seattle Progressive Pramila Jayapal, thinks ‘inflation is like a theoretical word that economists use,’” Seattle radio talk show host Jason Rantz tweeted in response to Jayapal’s comments. “Send help.”

Withhold her salary, see if her mind changes
This Jayapal is UGLY!
If they increase the cost of ‘dry goods’ her opinion would differ.
Theoretical word to her, reality word to us.
HOW DO WE ELECT SUCH FOOLS AND IDIOTS ???
Get the word “ultimately “,? Damn, ultimately anything can happen. How dumb.
She’s either delusional or lying–take your pick. I wouldn’t want either in my representative.
How do people this butt stupid get elected to congress. Unbelievable
Wow. An inflation denier. This woman is out of touch with the people she purports to represent. It isn’t just economists who use the word “inflation” and use it; everybody who has seen the connection between reckless federal spending and soaring prices at the grocery store knows what inflation is.
Cliff Moon, are you watching? Your opponent for the General Election has just thrown you a hanging curve ball. She doesn’t deserve to win by 90%, so smack it out of the park.
The most stupid anybody can get.
