Biden acknowledges high prices, shifts blame elsewhere

Biden Admits Prices Are ‘Too High for Too⁣ Many Things,’ But⁣ Points the Blame Away ⁢from⁤ Himself

When a man who has spent his adult⁤ life getting a government check starts telling Americans how they should run their businesses,‍ the country should take it for what it’s worth.

But‌ that’s exactly what President Joe Biden was doing on⁤ Monday ⁣when he used a White House address to grudgingly admit the inflation that’s ravaging American consumers.

And then quickly placed⁣ the blame exactly where ⁤it doesn’t belong.

In the speech, which introduced⁢ yet another government measure to control the economy — this one laughably titled the “White House Council on Supply Chain Resilience,” Biden as ⁢much as ​said the prices Americans are paying for goods and services are too high, but he had only one culprit in mind — the one that Democrats turn to whenever they need ‌a whipping boy.

“Let ‍me be clear: To any corporation that has not brought their prices back down — even as inflation has come down, even as supply chains have been ⁤rebuilt‍ — it’s time⁤ to ‍stop the price ‍gouging, giving the ⁤American consumer a break,” the president⁣ said.

In this case, it would be nice if Biden took his own advice and gave the American people a break from the Democratic boilerplate‌ blame game that puts all the evils of the world on ⁢the shoulders of shadowy, unnamed “corporations.”

Considering that Biden’s 36 years in the Senate, eight as vice president and almost three as president amount to almost a decade longer than the almost 40 years the average American has been alive, the⁣ statement is a joke.

His career hasn’t been defined by taking risks with his own money, making his own payroll ⁤and⁣ producing‌ either a good or a service that consumers would want to spend their​ own⁣ money on.

He’s been concerned with spending other people’s money, collected by the government for the Beltway elite to dispose of.

(Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is cut from the same cloth. After entering​ the New York State Assembly just ⁣out of law school, he was elected to Congress in 1980 at the age of 29. These are not men who deal with the world ⁢outside‍ of government.)

What’s more, as energy analyst Patrick de ⁤Haan pointed out in a social media post on Tuesday, Biden made the claim after rattling off a series of statistics he said showed the economy‍ is improving for Americans, including wage growth.

Biden loves to pretend he’s a friend of the working American — supporting union wage demands with knee-jerk, photo-op reflexes, for instance — but​ he can’t acknowledge‍ that there’s a connection between higher wages paid to employees and higher‌ prices paid ⁢by customers. Effectively, he was claiming credit for the development and dodging responsibility for what followed.
