And you know, there\u2019s debating and discussing going on, and meanwhile, prices are still going up,\u201d Tapper pushed back then.<\/p>\n<p>Rouse pointed to the fact that President Biden was traveling in the Middle East, working to encourage other oil-producing nations to put greater quantities of oil into the market in order to drive down the global cost of gas. She also argued that a number of policy changes that could help ease inflation would require Congress to act as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s the Democratic president and the Congress is controlled by Democrats, so it\u2019s not as though you don\u2019t have each other\u2019s phone numbers,\u201d Tapper replied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN anchor Jake Tapper cornered White House economic adviser Cecilia Rouse, asking why members of President Joe Biden\u2019s administration kept touting all the \u201ctools\u201d they could use to tackle inflation if they weren\u2019t going to actually use them.
