In response to the White House\u2019s comments, Nicole Morales \u2014 a Republican National Committee spokesperson \u2014 slammed President Joe Biden while claiming that the American people aren\u2019t buying his excuses for rising costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>During Monday\u2019s press briefing, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki indicated that the upcoming Consumer Price Index report would show \u201celevated inflation\u201d for March, which she argued was caused by \u201cPutin\u2019s price hike.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Via an email sent to The Daily Wire on Monday afternoon, Morales said, \u201cInflation has risen every month since Joe Biden took office.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Indeed, NBC News<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\/inflation-has-risen-every-month-president-biden-took-office-n1294220\"> <span>recently reported<\/span><\/a><span> that the inflation has skyrocketed under Biden\u2019s watch, and it started happening long before a Russian soldier ever set foot in Ukraine in late February 2022:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i><span>Over the past year, which is closely aligned with Biden\u2019s White House term, the Consumer Price Index has climbed rapidly.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>In January 2021, it was 1.4 percent higher than it had been 12 months earlier. By July it was 5.4 percent higher than 12 months earlier. By December it was 7 percent. And in February, it was 7.9 percent higher.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Biden has also<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/im-sick-of-this-stuff-biden-complains-that-the-american-people-believe-increased-government-spending-causes-inflation\"> <span>previously lamented<\/span><\/a><span> that the American people believe that government spending is to blame for economic inflation.\u00a0 Yet, even the Associated Press<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/politics\/articles\/2022-03-15\/ap-fact-check-biden-skirts-blame-on-inflation-gop-gas-hype\"> <span>admitted<\/span><\/a><span> that Biden deserves some of the blame for the current economic crisis, thanks to policies like his massive COVID-19 relief package:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i><span>Biden last year signed a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package known as the American Rescue Plan \u2014 and many economists say that caused inflation to run higher than it otherwise would. There are multiple sources for inflation including global supply chain issues, the pandemic, stimulus from the Federal Reserve and, now, the Russian war in Ukraine.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>But the problem is that Biden pumped more money into the economy than it could handle. Administration officials said before the relief package was passed that the greater risk was do too little to help the economy than to do too much. The implicit risk was inflation, though the tradeoff was faster hiring and stronger growth. Biden got all three: the hiring, the growth and the inflation.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>While it might be true that other factors, including Putin\u2019s actions, as well as subsequent U.S. sanctions, have driven up costs somewhat, it does not make sense for the White House to blame Putin entirely for the rising prices that America has experienced over the past 14 months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/01\/12\/now-bidens-given-america-the-worst-inflation-in-40-years\/\"> <span>pointed out<\/span><\/a><span> by The New York Post Editorial Board in January 2022, \u201cthe prez and his party can no longer escape blame for the Bidenflation Tax, which hits poorer Americans hardest.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As argued by The Post, Biden\u2019s only \u201csolution\u201d to the ongoing problem has been spending more money. The Post claimed at the time that he should make more of an effort to get the government out of the economy:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i><span>Economists know several ways to stem inflation: cut government spending, raise interest rates, tighten the money supply. But Democrats need to stop doing the same thing over and over again \u2014 i.e., spending more money \u2014 and expecting different results. That\u2019s the definition of insanity, unless they actually want more inflation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Regardless of White House messaging and whether they blame greedy businesses, lack of government spending, or Putin, a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/569050915\/Topline-ABC-Ipsos-Poll-April-9-2022\"><span> recent poll from ABC News<\/span><\/a> <span>shows that the American people overwhelmingly disapprove of the way the president is handling inflation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When asked, \u201cDo you approve or disapprove of the way Joe Biden is handling [inflation]?\u201d just 29% of the American people said they \u201capproved\u201d of the job he was doing. Sixty-nine percent said they disagreed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In light of Biden\u2019s apparent decision to shirk responsibility for inflation entirely, voters shouldn\u2019t expect him to have a change of policy any time soon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe White House will continue to place blame on others and lie to hardworking Americans, but voters know Biden is to blame for higher prices,\u201d Morales also added in the RNC\u2019s comments to The Daily Wire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
