(Photo by Drew Angerer\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 9:40 AM PT \u2013 Thursday, December 23, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Joe Biden boasted of his accomplishments during a meeting with his Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force on Wednesday. He first made sure to highlight the wage increases under his administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica\u2019s the only leading economy in the world where household incomes and the economy as a whole are stronger than they were before the pandemic, even accounting for price increases,\u201d said Biden. \u201cThe economy I inherited nearly a year ago wasn\u2019t just in crisis, it wasn\u2019t working for working people. I told you that\u2019s the reason I ran. It\u2019s about time the middle-class and working-class people got a shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Biden didn\u2019t adjust for inflation, which disproportionately affects working-class families. He claimed national prosperity had surpassed the pre-pandemic economy, crediting the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the \u201cAmerican Rescue Plan\u201d for the progress.<\/p>\n<p>Although, Biden contradicted himself by acknowledging soaring prices in a variety of goods and services. Rather than connecting inflation to his economic policies, Biden claimed the only solution would be more government spending.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>\u201cStill, on top of mind for me is what is top of mind for so many families\u2026the pinch of prices and cost. Look, addressing these costs has been and will continue to be my top priority, the entire administration. And the way to do this is not to slow down our economic turnaround, not to step back from all this progress, but to build on it,\u201d Biden stated.<\/p>\n<p>Biden further explained a small percentage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill will help to unclog supply chain bottlenecks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s $17 billion to speed up and modernize our ports,\u201d said Biden. \u201cAnd tomorrow, the Department of Transportation is going to announce over $200 million in grants to ports nationwide. And we\u2019re making a significant investment in freight rail as well. And we\u2019re also working to unstick bottlenecks between the ports and the stores by getting more trucks moving all around the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who was on paternity leave during the beginning of the supply, was also in attendance.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/fda-approves-first-oral-covid-19-treatment-for-emergency-use-in-mild-to-moderate-covid-cases\/\">FDA Approves First Oral COVID-19 Treatment For Emergency Use In Mild To Moderate COVID Cases<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":90,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1146401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1146401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/90"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1146401"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1146401\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1146401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1146401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1146401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
