Biden to sharpen attacks on Republicans as having no plans about inflation
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- President Joe Biden will speak on Tuesday to address inflation.
- Biden is preparing to contrast his plans with those offered by GOP lawmakers.
- He is expected to blast Republicans six months before the midterms.
President Joe Biden will address inflation in a speech Tuesday. It is expected that the president will use this as an opportunity to turn this into an argument against Republicans six months before the midterms in November.
American families worry about a spike in inflation that has caused grocery prices to increase and gas to exceed $6 per gallon in some states. Biden will highlight a list of his administration’s plans to cut prices.
However, the president will not introduce new policy measures in his speech. But he is expected to blast Republicans over their plans for inflation.
“Republicans love to use inflation as a political talking point, but does anyone have a clue what their plan is to bring down prices?” said a White House official who asked not to be named.
According to Reuters, inflation surges globally as demand stimulated by government spending and savings accumulated during the COVID-19 pandemic were no match for creaky supply chains and labor shortages.
It resulted in a political problem as Americans face higher grocery and gas bills aggravated by measures blocking Russian oil and gas after it invaded Ukraine.
According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll last week, only 44% of Americans approve of Biden’s handling of the presidency. They also see the economy as the nation’s most important problem.
Republicans are expected to use the issue in the midterms, promoting measures including loosening regulations on oil and gas producers as well as slashing some taxes and government spending. However, the GOP has not advocated any policy document outlining the steps they would take on inflation.
Biden has been slamming Republicans in recent days. He also dismissed former President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement as extreme.
“Voters know that Republican-led states are leading in economic recovery and job creation, and will vote for Republicans and our proven agenda come November,” said Emma Vaughn, a spokesperson for the Republican National Committee.

The worst inflation always occurs when Democrats are in power. And they always try to blame Republicans. Please note that under President Trump, inflation was well under control – and did not get “out of hand” until Old Slow Joe and his crowd took over.

unfortunately for us Americans, this is the way the communist democrats operate. They mismanage everything while claiming it’s inevitable (just look back at Barry Soetoro’s early speeches where he stated that energy costs will necessarily rise), then blame it all on the opposite party. At least we had four years of peace and rising prosperity with Trump. It’s just too bad those morons couldn’t leave him alone, we might have been an even GREATER nation. I think democrats DO NOT deserve to live in a free country.

Two trillion dollars ($2,000,000,000,000.00) in $100.00 bills (Benjamins) will fill 572 semi-trailers. The national debt, which is in the neighborhood of thirty trillion dollars, will fill 8,580 semi-trailers with hundred dollar bills. Is this considered by the morons in charge to be sustainable? Really?

Lying Corrupt Quid Pro KING Joe can blast the Republicans all he wants, the Republicans aren’t in power, the liberal commie Democrats are in control. The buck stops with Corrupt Quid Pro. Corrupt Quid Pro doesn’t have the mental capacity to lead America. Corrupt Quid Pro couldn’t find his way home in broad daylight. Every ill will towards the U.S. whether it be on the foreign or domestic side is caused by this incompetent in the W/H.

The Dumbocraps have NOTHING to brag about, so, the poor economy HAS to be the fault of the Republicans! Why don’t they take control of the situations and solve them? Could it be they have NO plan to resolve our problems!

Republican plans unknown. Totally untrue. And Republicans often state it. They say Biden should have left every one of Trump’s policies in place re EVERYTHING. Inflation, border, energy independence and marketing our energy, immigration, world interactions and anti-war actions, restrictions/sanctions on unfriendly countries, take lock down off a LONG time ago, trade agreements, no WOKE, CRT, indoctrination of kids in schools, lower taxes, continue to slowly and sensibly develop green energy programs to supplement fossil foods, support our Law Enforcement, ICE, BCP, Military, keep military equipment we had in Afghanistan and have a sensible withdrawal to protect our and other countries citizens and Military Aides as they are ALL BROUGHT OUT, keep maintenance Military force and Bagram Military base in Afghanistan, keep war-free through strength, keep National Strategic Reserves FILLED, support small businesses and owners and workers, prevent supply chain problem and food shortages, continue to finish up investigation re Clinton and Dossier/prosecute, investigate actual planners/implementers of Jan. 6 and election fraud/prosecute. ETCETERA. LOTS MORE. I’m sure Trump has a long list of things that have to be changed from this Administration’s insane policies, besides what he is ALREADY working on from the sidelines. Best idea is still to decert 2020 election (and also resulting Georgia 2 seat Senate run-off that fraudulently gave Dems a slim majority in Senate and prevented a Rep majority in House), put rightful winner back in office and throw out everything Biden has done.. .. . Bills, appointees, Exec Orders, immigration policies plus agreements with other countries.. .. ALL CHANGES.. .. GONE. Prosecute the planners /implementers.

Biden is not president. He is a front man for the one world order group. The one world order group are Ultra Rich that think they are better than everyone else because the have billions of dollars or more. The only place money’s needed , is right here on Earth only in this existence. Itis worthless anywhere else. Steve Jobs, the richest individual in the world at the time of his death said,”I made all this money and now someone else gets to spend it” e in the Universe, or all creation. Biden is the front man.He does not make any decision on his own. Start with the head of the evil. the Rothschild family, look what the family fortune is. They support George Soros and his son, plus others. Then move on to many other rich , (Ultra rich) persons or groups. Look at their eyes, they look dead.
