Biden Releases Statement On Jan CPI: "Budgets Are Being Stretched"

WHITE HOUSE

President Joe Biden has released a statement following the multi-decade high inflation reading announced earlier today. Link to statement can be found here:https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statement...

  • "On higher prices, we have been using every tool at our disposal, and while today is a reminder that Americans’ budgets are being stretched in ways that create real stress at the kitchen table, there are also signs that we will make it through this challenge."
  • "My administration will continue to be all hands on deck to win this fight. We will continue to rebuild our infrastructure and manufacturing, so we can make more in America and strengthen our supply chains here at home. We will continue to fight for costs in areas that have held back families and working people for decades, from prescription drugs to child care and elder care to their energy costs. And we will continue to promote more competition to make our markets more competitive and give consumers more choices."
