Maher Youssef, owner of Pluto Organic Cafe in Seattle, pinned the blame for inflation on top lawmakers, including the president, instead of big corporations.

A Seattle small business owner, outraged over sky-high costs that have put his livelihood in a bind, said he's 'ashamed' to call Biden his president because of his handling of the economy. 'He doesn't know anything,' Maher Youssef, owner of Pluto Organic Café in the Evergreen State, said Thursday on 'Fox & Friends First.' 'The gas is double , the food is double.

'm American. I'm ashamed he's my president… that's the wrong guy.' President Biden, meanwhile, insists big corporations are to blame for price hikes and called on them to use 'record profits to reduce prices' in a statement released Wednesday. 'Fighting inflation remains my top economic priority,' Biden continued.

The differences are burdensome for those like Youssef, who said he has taken to working long hours seven days a week. 'I can't really see my kids as much as I used to,' he said. 'I leave home by 5:00 in the morning. I come home by like 5:00 or 6:00 every day, seven days a week because I can't afford to pay people maybe $20 something an hour, plus everything's expensive.
