10 thoughts on “White House scrambles on inflation after Biden complains to aides

  1. Self-inflicted policy malfeasance. Much less to do with the Fed and much more to do with Biden. Hope everyone that voted for this man gets a reality check. Don’t be like the Californians and New Yorkers that have voted their states into free fall only to ditch town for Florida or Arizona when it becomes unbearable.

    1. LOL – so the inflation that’s occurring in every country in the world coming out of Covid is all due to US policy???

    2. Self inflicted from career politicians. The agenda is clear: power and control.

      Don’t forget to wear your mask this summer sheep while shopping at 30+% increases… shut down the economy for 2 years and then blame everyone but the people that shut it down.

      Hypocrisy.

  2. It’s amusing and entertaining to see this administration scramble to fix things THEY BROKE. The entertainment goes away, however, when innocent people die due to their careless planning and short-sighted policies, etc (like Afghanistan, defunding police). It would be refreshing to see them start thinking ahead and being proactive instead of just cleaning up the mess from a boiled-over pot. I don’t think this administration is capable of that, however…

    1. Gloria, what did the Biden Admin break? Most states have hit the lowest unemployment levels they have ever had. COVID while still here is being managed to allow people to return to normal. Trump had his own Benganzi in Niger but nobody cared. Gas issues are caused by refinery closures which picked up speed during the Covid closures. Unless the government takes over closed refineries then we don’t have the production capability to handle drill baby drill.

    2. How EXACTLY did this administration break things? I don’t expect a response because I’m sure you don’t have one – you just heard it on Fox News…..

  3. The average gallon of gas is $4.89 all over Indy. Really strange how the VAST majority of stations all charge exactly the same price.

    I’m the “old days” this was called collusion. Now we just seemingly have a government (Dem or Rep) that just allow it because the oil industry contributes to their campaigns.

    Citizens need to figure out a way for a Constitutional Convention and get a new amendment passed that calls for mandatory term limits. Eliminate the chance for any member of the House or Senate from being there for decades. The founding fathers of the country were statesman. Never intended it to be anything like what we have now. Eliminate the campaign fundraising and we take a great stride in improving many things.

    My $ 0.02

  4. Biden’s aides need to gather the guts to explain “it’s not the optics stupid”. You can’t pay for gas to fill the family car with “optics”. The problem will be corrected when federal energy policies favor increased petroleum exploration and refining. After those policies are changed it will still take some time for relief at the pump. It seems that Biden wants his legacy to be “the president that stemmed climate change by reducing petroleum consumption to increase EV production and use”. Every legacy has a price. This legacy is costing 95% of the US population opportunities to better their lives and the lives of their families. Added to the imbalanced policies of justice this administration has adopted that divide the many special interest groups in this country, increased mental health problems have resulted. From the party that brought us the mantra “never let a crisis go to waste” comes the follow up mantra “create as many crises as possible by enacting bad policies”. Stinks to be a Biden aide these days.
