It matters to families, because reducing the deficit is one of the main ways we can ease inflationary pressures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Neoliberal Project responded to Biden\u2019s tweet by writing: \u201cThis is so silly. The deficit is decreasing because we\u2019re not doing pandemic aid anymore, and federal receipts are up because of inflation. Congress, or the Biden administration, didn\u2019t do anything to lower the deficit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bezos responded to the Neoliberal Project\u2019s tweet and accused Biden of again trying to deceive the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn fact, the administration tried hard to inject even more stimulus into an already over-heated, inflationary economy and only Manchin saved them from themselves,\u201d Bezos wrote. \u201cInflation is a regressive tax that most hurts the least affluent.

Truck drivers, seaport slots and warehouse spaces are all in short supply, leading to costly delays and rising shipping rates for goods,\u201d the report continued. \u201cFewer workers are in the labor market, encouraging those who are working to demand raises.
