Adrienne Elrod: Biden ‘Has Made It Very Clear’ That Passing BBB Would Help Address Inflation

EXCERPT:

ELORD: "Yeah, Joe, it is certainly a challenge, because as we have talked about many times on the show, these are literally the kitchen table issues that American families are feeling. American families are seeing an average of $250 more in expenses per month because of inflation. So it's something the administration is taking very seriously. You know, the President has made it very clear that if we pass the Build Back Better Act, if we extended the child tax credit, that would put more money in the pockets of American families and that will help address some of the inflation issues. But it's a real issue. This administration is working diligently on supply chain issues and obviously trying to get legislation passed that would address it. I think the most important thing for Democrats to do on this is to, number one, acknowledge there’s a problem, which we are doing; and number two, drawing a contrast between the fact that Democrats are at least trying to address something which, by the way, is essentially a hangover from the pandemic, and then also number two, trying to do something about it, unlike Republicans who are trying to stop everything. It is important to show we are at least trying and putting our best foot forward to try to get something done."
