US President Joe Biden on Wednesday criticized Republicans\u2019 plan to combat US hot inflation, taking his speech as an opportunity to slam his opposition. Biden accused his predecessor of being responsible for the balance sheet deficit increase every single year Trump was president.
\u201cRight now, the majority of our Republican friends just see things differently. They don\u2019t want to solve inflation just by lowering the cost, they want to solve it by raising taxes and lowering your income,\u201d Biden said. \u201cIf I didn\u2019t see the actual document, I\u2019d think I was making it up\u201d, he asserted.
Biden takes pride in reducing the deficit, \u201cliterally reduced the deficit by $350 billion, first year,\u201d as he said in remarks at an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers conference in Chicago.
Biden highlighted deficit reduction as a way to fight inflation in order to respond to opponents\u2019 criticism that his American Rescue Plan, which had the price tag of $1.9 trillion and passed early last year, negatively impacted the US economy.
\u201cMy Republican colleagues say these programs to help the working class and middle-class people, that they say, that\u2019s why we have inflation. They\u2019re dead wrong,\u201d Biden said on Wednesday, he also argued that \u201creducing the deficit is one of the main ways that we can ease inflationary pressures.\u201d
Biden slammed Scott\u2019s proposed tax plan, which he has attacked recently while comparing it to his administration\u2019s plan to combat inflation. \u201cI call it the ultra-MAGA plan, Make America Great Again plan,\u201d he added. White House press secretary Jen Psaki has criticized the Republican Party for embracing what they call an \u201cultra-MAGA agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
