Fetterman to Fed Chair Powell: ‘Do You Believe an Anecdote on Twitter About a Cookie That Costs $18?’

EXCERPT:

FETTERMAN: “Now, I don’t know, maybe some people in America were talking about a cookie that was $18. And I was — I was alarmed and I hope we investigate that there is a cookie that costs $18. And do you believe that, an anecdote on Twitter about a cookie that costs $18? Is that reflective of our economy and where we’re at or not?”

POWELL: “I certainly hope not. I don’t do much shopping these days but that sounds like a pretty expensive cookie.”
