The American President has a lead political ball attached to his ankle…
The Economy…..
He and his ahndlers seem to be getting ready to make a last hard push to get some better numbers for him and the party lawmakers across the country who are scared shitlless that medi report’s of them losing their jobs could come true…
Some of the stuff he’s now trying to sell comes stright out of West Virginia Democratic Senator Manchin’s mouth (And some Republicans)….
I wonder why, eh?
As part of the three-pronged approach toward inflation detailed in his Journal op-ed on Monday, Biden pledged that he would first refrain from improperly weighing in on the Federal Reserve’s actions or attempting to influence its decision-making processes.
“I have appointed highly qualified people from both parties to lead that institution,” Biden wrote. “I agree with their assessment that fighting inflation is our top economic challenge right now.”
Second, Biden called on Congress to “help right away by passing clean energy tax credits and investments.” He also demanded that lawmakers take up his plan to make housing more affordable, reduce the price of prescription drugs and work to lower the cost of child and elder care.
“I’ve done what I can on my own to help working families during this challenging time — and will keep acting to lower costs where I can — but now Congress needs to act too,” Biden wrote.
Third, Biden insisted that the United States must “keep reducing the federal deficit,” which he argued would “help ease price pressures.”
Biden’s deficit reduction plan, he wrote, would make “common-sense reforms to the tax code,” including discouraging companies from shifting jobs overseas and requiring higher-earning Americans to pay more in taxes.
“The economic policy choices we make today will determine whether a sustained recovery that benefits all Americans is possible,” Biden wrote. “I will work with anyone — Democrat, Republican, or independent — willing to have an open and honest discussion that delivers real solutions for the American people.”….

The actual fastest way to get Gas prices to drop?
Settle the Ukraine war and restore Russian oil exports…
But THAT is NOT the right answer, eh?
