Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre bizarrely insisted today that Joe Biden “has done the work” on inflation.
If fueling a 40-year-high in inflation is how she is defining “doing the work,” then yes, Biden has “done the work” with the help of his Democrat sidekicks in the House and Senate. Jean-Pierre even accidentally made that cause-and-effect argument today:
REPORTER: "18 months ago when the president took office, inflation and gas prices starting rising."

Indeed, the American people rightly blame Biden and the Democrats for harming the economy per a new CBS News poll.
And while a plurality say Democrat policies have harmed the economy, a plurality say Republican policies would help. They are likely looking at Republican-led states, which lead with the lowest unemployment rates and most jobs created since the pandemic began.
Bottom line: The only “work” Biden has done is fuel inflation and make American families poorer.
