Biden tackles inflation concerns head-on with two-pronged infrastructure push

President Joe Biden used his Monday remarks to counter concerns from Republicans and some economists that his spending proposals are leading the country into a prolonged inflationary period.

White House officials told the Washington Examiner ahead of Biden’s speech that the president would make the case that both the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework and the Build Back Better budgetary request will offset inflation by spreading out the trillions in spending across roughly a decade.
