Fox News host Bill Hemmer confronted a former top Obama economics official Friday for claiming that skyrocketing inflation and supply chain disruptions are “high class problems.”

Harvard economics professor Jason Furman, who served as chairman of former President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, downplayed current economic woes last week as problems only for American elite.

“Most of the economic problems we’re facing (inflation, supply chains, etc.) are high class problems. We wouldn’t have had them if the unemployment rate was still 10 percent. We would instead have had a much worse problem,” Furman tweeted.

“Jason, you started a prairie fire yesterday,” Hemmer said. “To paraphrase Jay Leno, what the hell were you thinking?”
