WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — The White House is remaining optimistic and Republicans are sounding the alarm after U.S. consumer prices rose yet again in July, according to federal data.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says the consumer price index for all urban consumers has increased 5.4% over the last year and inflation was up for the third month in a row.
President Joe Biden on Wednesday announce that his administration is taking new steps to lower prices at the pump and the grocery store. Biden said his plan will “crack down on what some major players are doing in the economy that are keeping prices higher than they need be” and “put more money in your pocket.”
One aspect of the inflation, he said, is supply chain bottlenecks. He said he’s working to fix that.
“Bringing together port operators, shipping lines and the labor unions … to speed up the ports’ operation,” he said.
Oh and a 5.4% increase is good anyway

Fixed it.
I still have a W-I-N pin!
Can Inplay?
I say break out the W.I.N. (Whip Inflation Now) buttons.
Can I play?
Relax folks. Biden is from the government and he is here to help.
Closing the barn door after the horses have bolted, and the barn was burned to the ground.

Like shutting down pipelines and cutting domestic oil and gas production? Biden should try to find the scoundrel who did that. The same one who taunts him in that piece of glass in the bathroom every morning.
Ah yes, I remember the WIN buttons from the days of President Ford.
New trillions of inflation causing programs from Congress....
That’s the trick in photo-ops and political publicity stunts.
All the media will cover “This President truly cares about inflation. In Delaware as a young man he had to find a way to pay for gas just as we do in these times as we heal from the terrible Trump years.
Suggestion: Gerald Ford’s Whip Inflation Now “WIN” buttons for our shirts.
LibTard logic is not logic at all. This is like trying to let the air out of a golf ball.
““Bringing together port operators, shipping lines and the labor unions … to speed up the ports’ operation,” he said.”
The dems will argue that the private sector is inefficient and driving up inflation and the answer needs to be ... more government spending.
These people remind me of how communists target their enemies and make their so-called points. Oh .. wait a minute.
Sorry to nascarnation for post #10 with the actual button now on this thread.
Great minds once again....
If history is any guide...we’re doomed.
They don’t care and won’t do anything useful. At this point we know whatever they say is just blowing smoke. They feel like they are permanently beyond accountability, to the press, the people, anybody. And it looks like they are right. So they just spew some non-responsive drivel and go about their business of decomposing America.
I remember my 12% mortgage I got back in 82, LOL.
