#shorts On 2/6/2023, a reporter asked Biden Top Econ Advisor Brian Deese, “The President has a lot of good news to tout tomorrow … I’m wondering, though, if you can help us get a better sense of his thinking on a lingering problem. The other day, when he was asked about inflation, he said that it was, quote, “already there when I got here.” Of course, inflation, when he arrived on Inauguration Day, was at 1.4 percent.

So, did the President misspeak? Or was he referring to more inherent challenges when he was — when he made that statement?

MR. DEESE: … we are making progress. nd globally, as inflation is a challenge everywhere, the United States is one of the places where we’re seeing one of the strongest and most resilient labor market recoveries with inflation coming down as well.
