White House shifts its inflation messaging amid GOP attacks
The White House shifts wording on inflation to blunt Republican effort to label Biden spending plans as fueling price gains. President Biden in July 19 remarks says cost increases will fade and pledges vigilance, while critics blame the $1.9 trillion relief package for rising prices and slow job gains. Agriculture Secretary Vilsack counters food inflation, saying overall food inflation is not unusually high and should level as supply and demand balance.
