President Joe Biden delivered fired-up remarks on the economy before a friendly, cheering audience of union workers in Philadelphia Tuesday — acknowledging inflation, and high food and gas prices while noting his plans to try to ease the economic pressure American families are facing. High inflation is a major political liability for Biden, who blamed Republicans for blocking a lot of his ideas to lower prices for Americans.
During his speech, he heavily praised organized labor — and delivered a midterm message. “Jobs are back, but prices are still too high,” the president remarked. “COVID is down, but gas prices are up. Our work isn’t done.”
Noting the upcoming midterm elections, Biden said, “America still has a choice to make. A choice between a government by the few for the few or a government for all of us.” He argued Republicans “refuse to consider a minimum corporate tax of 15 percent” and “think that the problem in America today is the working families aren’t paying enough.”
He touted his accomplishments, including the infrastructure bill, the millions of jobs created during his time in office, and how American families are carrying less debt and have more savings.
