President Joe Biden, flanked by Vice President Kamala Harris delivers remarks on the passage of the Bi-Partisan Infrastructure Bill in the State Dining Room of the White House on Saturday, Nov. 6, 2021 in Washington, D.C.bite of inflationThe Bureau of Labor Statistics, which keeps track of inflation numbers, notes that gasoline prices are up more than 60% over the past year.
"While today’s headline inflation reading is unacceptably high, it is also out-of-date. Energy alone comprised nearly half of the monthly increase in inflation," Biden said in a statement. "Today’s data does not reflect the full impact of nearly 30 days of decreases in gas prices, that have reduced the price at the pump by about 40 cents since mid-June."
"Every week he's trying to blame someone different," said House GOP Whip Steve Scalise, a Louisiana Republican. "He tried blaming [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, then he tried blaming the oil companies, he actually blamed it on COVID at one point … the one thing he hasn't done is look in the mirror and blame himself."
