According to Free Beacon, two months into the Biden administration Stacy Dean, a high-ranking agriculture official at the Department of Agriculture couldn’t answer a question from a New York Times reporter. The question was about whether food stamps help people who don’t have enough food. Instead of finding the answer within her department, Dean asked her old friends at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities a think tank funded by George Soros. This shows how close Dean is to the think tank since she started working for Biden in January 2021.
