Is there a perception issue in the other direction on inflation?


#shorts On 2/6/2023, a reporter asked Biden Top Econ Advisor Brian Deese, “A number of them dealt with this perception issue of how Americans are feeling differently than a lot of the positive data you have. Is there a perception issue in the other direction on inflation? Because when the President says he’s not responsible for inflation, that it’s a global issue and things like that, is there a problem or — or maybe a gap somewhere in how the White House views inflation when so many Americans feel it on a daily and weekly basis when they’re having to meet their obligations? Is there a perception gap on inflation here?

MR. DEESE: No, not at all. I mean, you have a President who has gone out and said that his top economic priority is to bring down inflation. You have a President that prioritized working with Congress to pass a bill called the Inflation Reduction Act … and as a result, in no small part because of those efforts, we’re now seeing progress. That progress is not sufficient. We need to keep making more progress.
