Political Quotes

“I urge Republicans to join Democrats in fighting inflation. First, let's acknowledge that pandemic-related disruptions to the global supply chain and to consumer demand have driven up the price of goods. We solve this by vaccinating more people here and around the world, restoring confidence to high-contact service industries, and ending this pandemic for good. Second, let's help businesses hire.

There are 27 million hidden workers: Parents who took time off, neurodiverse individuals, the formerly incarcerated, and people without a college degree.

Both parties in Congress should hold the Fed to account to reduce asset purchases and reestablish its credibility on price stability. Let's build on the bipartisan infrastructure deal to offer bipartisan inflation solutions. ____________________”
