Joe Biden's Desperate Inflation Pivot

Commentary

The Biden White House is desperate.

Yesterday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki bizarrely blamed Republicans, who don’t control either chamber of Congress or the White House, for inflation. This is after they have been downplaying warnings from even LIBERAL ECONOMISTS that their reckless spending would send rising prices into hyperdrive.

Their shameful pivot reeks of desperation. They’ve gone from “inflation doesn’t exist” to “it’s transitory” to “it’s a high class problem” to now “It’s Republicans’ fault.” Unfortunately for the Biden administration, we have the receipts.

WATCH: Joe Biden and his administration dismissed inflation for months

Now, Biden is doubling down on a reckless socialist “Build Back Broke” spending agenda that will raise taxes on the middle class, lower economic growth, blow up the deficit, and decrease real wages even more, all while giving a massive tax giveaway to the mega-rich in high-tax blue states.

How out-of-touch can Joe Biden’s White House be? Floridians are struggling to afford essentials and have had to cancel decades long Thanksgiving traditions because of Joe Biden’s unchecked inflation. Instead of taking responsibility for Joe Biden’s failures, his Press Secretary is playing political games by blaming Republicans for the problems Joe Biden created.  

Desperate attempts to gaslight the American people won’t change the fact that inflation is real, and Biden’s policies are to blame.
