President Joe Biden just gave a speech on “New Actions to Lower Costs for Hardworking Families by Fighting Corporate Rip-offs” and, in it, ended up giving a meandering defense of his administration’s economic policies in which he attacked companies for “shrinkflation,” bringing up the Cookie Monster while doing so.

Leading off his attack on companies, Biden indicated that he thinks America has a system of “exploitation” rather than “capitalism.” saying, “I’ve said before, capitalism without competition is — is not capitalism; it’s exploitation. And that’s what we’ve been seeing. Although it’s in small scale in the minds of many people, when you add up those numbers, they’re gigantic. And we’re taking it on.”

companies you won’t and — think you won’t even notice what they’re doing when they charge you just as much for the same size bag of potato chips, only it has a hell of a lot fewer chips in it.”

Then Biden got to his Cookie Monster claim. As the audience laughed, Biden said, “I’ll tell you what — I’ll tell you who did notice: the Cookie Monster. He pointed out cookies are — his cookies are getting smaller. He’s paying the same price. I was stunned when I found out that’s what actually happened.”

Watch the laughing and Cookie Monster bit here:


After Biden was done using Cookie Monster as a shrinkflation example, he returned to attacking companies, claiming, “But some companies are also adding junk fees — you know, the hidden costs that are added to the — your bill without your knowledge. And some companies have been even caught breaking the law while overcharging consumers. The American people are tired of being played for suckers. I mean, it’s one thing — no matter how much money you make, no matter how rich or poor or middle class you are, you don’t like being taken advantage of.”
