“I think if your concern is the cost of living, it’s a concern we have here at the White House, it’s a concern Senator Manchin shares, the Build Back Better bill is the best answer we have to bring those costs down,” he said.
“I understand why a lot of them might feel that way because of all the increase in prices. Gas, used cars, bacon, beef, chicken, eggs, furniture, TVs, kids’ shoes, electricity, rent,” Tapper said. “What do you say to these Americans who say, you know what, we’re not feeling any help from President Biden?”
“Ron Klain has said the massive federal spending, and “money printing” are the best policies for lessening the effects of inflation on the American public.”
From Fox News.com;
“White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain is putting the spin on the Biden administration's performance ahead of the November midterm elections in hopes of shoring up support for Democrats, who are in danger of losing control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate.”
In a Thursday interview with Politico, Klain touted what he described as "historic achievements" by President Biden, and argued Democrats were the "clearer" choice for voters despite persistent decades-high inflation, high gas prices and a spiraling crisis at the southern border.
"We now have a presidency where the president has delivered the largest economic recovery plan since Roosevelt, the largest infrastructure plan since Eisenhower, the most judges confirmed since Kennedy, the second-largest health care bill since Johnson and the largest climate change bill in history… The first time we've done gun control since President Clinton was here, the first time ever an African American woman has been put on the U.S. Supreme Court… I think it’s a record to take to the American people," Klain told Politico.
Ron Klain has claimed that the way to control inflation is to increase interest rates. He doesn’t even try to address profligate spending, or the “money printing.”
“'In a blunt speech last Friday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warned that the central bank’s battle against inflation won’t come without some casualties.
The Fed is firmly resolved to bring down inflation and to “keep at it until the job is done,” Powell said. But that plan — which involves a series of hefty interest rate hikes — will bring “some pain to households and businesses,” he acknowledged.’
Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts criticized the Fed’s plan during an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash this weekend, saying: ‘What [Powell] calls ‘some pain,’ means putting people out of work, shutting down small businesses because the cost of money goes up, because the interest rates go up.’”
Anytime anyone discusses inflation without mentioning, “money printing,” whatever they say is a lie.
