US Senator: Biden does not care about inflation because he is rich.
The top Republican lawmaker criticized the US president for his indifference to inflation and rising fuel prices.
A senior Republican lawmaker tweeted Monday night criticizing US President Joe Biden for rising “fuel prices” and “inflation.”
“Joe Biden does not care about inflation or rising gasoline prices because he lacks empathy,” Arkansas Republican lawmaker Tom Cotton tweeted. “His family has become rich through economic trade-offs.”
The average price of gasoline in the United States reached over five dollars per gallon for the first time in the history of this country a few days ago. Gasoline prices have caused trouble for Biden and congressional Democrats.
With just 150 days to go before the midterm elections, the Biden administration, which has had little to do both domestically and externally, has little chance of improving its economic performance for American voters, whose main concern is inflation. does not have.
This could be a political nightmare for Democrats, who want to maintain their slim majority in the November congressional election and, despite having a majority, have so far failed to advance their agenda in Congress.
“Certainly the economy is a major issue this year,” William Galston, director of governance studies at the Brookings Institution, told ABC News. I can say that we are in a situation where the impact of the economy on elections is similar to what happened in the late 1970s and early 1980s. “I do not think it is a coincidence, because for the first time in nearly 40 years, inflation has become a major issue for voters.”
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen recently told IBS News that the rise in prices posed only a small risk to the economy, but admitted in an interview with CNN in early June that she was wrong.
Although Biden vowed last Friday that his government would continue to do everything in its power to reduce prices, he blamed Russia’s attack on Ukraine largely on inflation.
