Unfortunately for Jimmy, Ms. Psaki was awake and aware of his twitter trolling. She replied in the manner that has distinguished her as both brilliant and more than a little snarky:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">You forgot to mention that gas prices are the same now as they were in June 2018.

Everyone who is the least bit informed about the economy knows that gas prices were artificially low last year due to that deadly pandemic thingy that caused folks to stay home. With demand down significantly, the gas companies reduced their prices. Now that the nation is reopening for business, people are moving about again, which increases both the demand and the cost of fuel.<\/p>\n<p>Somebody needs to explain these simple concepts to Mr. Jordan. And Ms. Psaki is the perfect teacher. She helpfully included information about the sharply reduced unemployment rate. That&#8217;s another result of the Biden administration&#8217;s phenomenally successful COVID vaccine program that has enable people to return to the work and leisure activities they enjoyed prior to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the day, Psaki was interviewed on <em>CBS This Morning<\/em> where she reiterated the Biden administration&#8217;s opposition to raising gas taxes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We need a few more details about the deal and about the proposal, including specifics about how to pay for it. An idea that&#8217;s been floating around there, that certainly the President would not support, is a gas tax which would raise taxes on people making less than $400,000.00 a year. We&#8217;re just not gonna stand for that.
