During her daily news conference, Psaki was questioned whether President Joe Biden agreed with Progressive groups that "corporate greed is a big driver of inflation right now."
She made a point to commiserate with Americans dealing with high grocery prices, but chalked up most of the damage to companies "jacking up prices" during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biden marked his readiness to take on big companies in July when he signed an executive order attacking the stranglehold of monopolies in major industries, including airlines, agriculture, and banking.

Psaki added that global supply chain issues have also added to the price issue, before finally acknowledging that Biden did blame pandemic profiteering.

"There are other areas where we've seen increases because of supply chain issues, and we're seeing those increases around the world as it relates to gas prices, oil supply, and things along those lines," she said.
"So, I would say there's some areas where we have seen corporations benefit - profit from the pandemic. And - and, certainly, the president would agree with that component."
