President Joe Biden has vowed to make reversing the country's rising inflation a 'top priority,' after the Consumer Price Index revealed inflation is at its highest level in 31 years.
The president has blamed the 6.2 percent increase in the cost of living on 'market manipulation' and 'price gouging,' despite the nation's top economists pointing to the country's supply-chain shortages and businesses struggling to meet the demand from widespread coronavirus pandemic-related shutdowns as the reason for the rise in prices.
Biden said in a statement on Wednesday his $1.2 trillion Build Back Better plan will help slow the growing inflation problem, even as household debt increases to a record high.

I thought the “border” was a top priority.
So confusing.
FJB!
It’s getting to the point where Biden should consult with Carter for some best practices
Jobama was for inflation before he was against it. Lying like every other puke democrat in DC!
That's right, because spending money WAY over the amount you actually have is a great way to run your finances. Politicians, like most Americans, are great at managing debt. They just suck at managing wealth, unless it's to line their own pockets, which is the problem.
Biden & company cannot pour pee from a boot-—with the directions written on the heel.
"Wreckers and saboteurs, comrades! The Five Year Plan is at stake! We must be vigilant!"
Been down this road before. "Build Back Better" is going to haunt Biden, mark my words.
My guess, just like in the days of FDR who was fighting deflation, Biden will do everything to make it worse.
Never fear. Mighty Brandon’s going to tax, beg, borrow and spend us back to prosperity. LGB!
Perhaps, ... but will he be focused like a laser?
The only way he’s going to stop inflation is by tearing up that infrastructure bill and resigning (after firing Kamala and naming Donald Trump as his new VP).
Rationing before the end of his term.
I’m guessing his top priority is on par with the top men’s spoken of in the Indiana Jones movies.
Sounds like another job for handing off to Kamalala. Since she’s doing so well...
“Rationing before the end of his term.”
Read and take heed.
He creates a major crisis and now that
s a priority? WTF? It’s like robbing a bank and now saying it’s a priority to find the robber.
C’mon, Manchin. For once in your life do the right thing — the honorable thing — and help put an end to this sh*t (or at least slow it down a bit) by giving Republicans a one-vote majority in the Senate.
Let's Go Brandon!
FJB
“Biden says reversing rampant inflation is a ‘top priority’ after cost of living rises 6.2% - its highest level in 31 years.”
Is he afraid it might go back down?
