All smiles and selfies at the White House on Monday as Democrats celebrated passage of the bipartisan infrastructure deal, but growing voter fears about inflation have put a veil over President JOE BIDEN’s victory round.
The White House has attempted to provide the president’s timeline as a long-term reaction to inflation. However, a couple of stories this morning in POLITICO underscore why those claims are probably an illusion.
1) BIDEN’S “EMPTY INFLATION TOOLBOX. ” Jeff Greenfield explains how inflation has “rejected” former presidents time and time again, and they couldn’t do anything about it. “Presidents have almost no strength to ease the pain of inflation, and the voting public does not let presidents aside because of this impotence,” he wrote.
JOHN F. KENNEDY and LYNDON B. JOHNSON tried in vain to force companies and unions to increase wages and value. RICHARD NIXON imposed a 90-day freeze on wages and value; However, inflation rose to 11% in mid-1974. GERALD FORD has tried to combat double-digit inflation with mood swings and welfare rhetoric calling on farmers to plant more crops or commit to seeking worthwhile redress.
And the fact that JIMMY CARTER cut costs, by appointing a Fed chairman who led a historic tightening of the cash supply, led to “a recession more severe than any since the Great Depression. “Read Greenfield’s complicated history lesson for Biden here.
2) 2022 THE GOP’S HOPES APPLY TO INFLATION. Business journalist Megan Cassella reports this morning that inflation is shaping up to be the medium-term problem on the corner. Republicans are experiencing glory days with Democrats’ claim that spending billions of taxpayer dollars will stabilize the prices of gasoline and customer goods. game:
“People see that my opponent is supporting billions and billions of new spending,” TOM KEAN JR. , a Republican new Jersey state rep. who opposes Rep. TOM MALINOWSKI (DN. J. ), told Cassella. “. They perceive that this is out of place and that creating those new spaces of expansion within the government is too costly, unsustainable and in the wrong direction. “
“Our electorate is nervous about this government spending and it has an effect on inflation, and especially because of the Build Back Better act that’s being passed,” said MONICA DE LA CRUZ, a South Texas Republican for a vacant seat. They control the House [and the electorate] see it as their fault that the load of fuel and groceries increases and imposes an undue burden on Americans.

In the NYT, Michael Shear writes about the truth that rests on Biden after his bipartisan victory: it’s just inflation. These come with their low approval ratings, fear of wasting any of the houses of Congress next fall, and the GOP’s united opposition to virtually everything it does from now on.
“The president and his staff hope that the highly choreographed occasion will begin to allow Mr. Biden to place his place,” Shear wrote. But the president and his most sensitive advisers also perceive the uncertainty in the country’s deeply polarized electorate, the difficult battles advancing on Capitol Hill, and the ephemeral nature of political victories at the age of 280 character posts on Twitter and stories disappearing on Instagram.
“Will Monday’s victory be the springboard Mr. Biden wants for political change, showing the electorate that they were given what they expected when they appointed him to the force last year?among Washington’s resentment looming in the coming days?»

At the last minute, Speaker NANCY PELOSI added a four-week edition to the House bill will be put to a vote this week, but Manchin has not abandoned his opposition and the plan can be withdrawn in the Senate to get its vote.

(IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES
ANOTHER FRIDAY FROM HELL?- No luck if you are a member of the House or a journalist. The shrinking space seems headed for another Friday night afternoon, or a weekend consultation, as Pelosi sets out the final edict on Rebuild Better: No Thanksgiving Recess until the House passes the bill.
The CBO said Monday it will release its full package score through Friday; Several moderate Democrats said they want to see unit numbers before voting on the bill. As our Hill team reports, Democrats expect to see that score on Thursday.

NEW HOME FREEDOM CAUCUS CHAIR – Olivia Beavers learned that HFC’s board of trustees elected Rep. SCOTT PERRY (R-Pa. ) To lead the conservative organization that could decide whether McCarthy would become president if Republicans won the House. pressure DONALD TRUMP’s Justice Department to interfere in the 2020 election and prevent the nonviolent movement of power. At the same time, Perry is considered one of the most docile members of the organization, which has increasingly embraced conspiracies and has been ruled by MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENES and LAUREN BOEBERTS of the world.
Fortunately for McCarthy, Perry has long been regarded as close to Rep. JIM JORDAN (R-Ohio), who has privately sought to distance himself from HFC. And with Jordan already endorsing McCarthy as a speaker, it will be appealing to see if Perry, as the HFC leader, is helping the Republican leader realize his ambition to be a speaker.

TOP-ED – Bill Grueskin, professor of professional practice and former university dean at Columbia School of Journalism, writes for NYT Opinion on how journalists and editors mishandled the Steele case: The story of the Steele case will do a wonderful service to your audience and to you can also know if, by focusing so much on the dossier, they helped divert public attention from Mr. M’s actual misconduct. Addressing the shortcomings of the dossier does not mean ignoring the corruption and provoking democratic behavior that Trump management has encouraged us for 4 years, but that would mean accepting our conduct and the collateral damage those mistakes have caused to our reputation. “
