Biden White House
adviser Gene Sperling acknowledged Sunday he didn't feel the pain of
inflation and high gas prices as much as those making $50,000 or $60,000
a year, while defending the president's messaging strategy.
In
an appearance on CNN's "Reliable Sources," Sperling was pressed by host
Brian Stelter on whether the administration needed to reevaluate its
messaging tactics, noting the recent op-ed on inflation Biden wrote in the Wall Street Journal. "Who really reads op-eds?' Stelter asked.
Sperling
said that the president's strategy with writing op-eds was that it was
him "speaking directly" to the American people. He emphasized it was
"tough" and that when gas prices increase, the president's approval
rating decreases.
"But we have a very strong message about what
the American Rescue Plan, what his bipartisan infrastructure plan has
done for this economy and the fact that he is the one, not the
Republicans, who is fighting every day to do everything he can
administratively," Sperling continued.
Stelter asked if Sperling was experiencing the pain that Americans are feeling with record-high gas prices and increased inflation.
"You know, I feel the pain for so many families in our lives," he said.
"I mean, $72 for gas this morning, do you feel it? Do you pay it?" Stelter pressed.
"I’m not going to try to say I feel that pain personally as much as so
many families who make $50,000 or $60,000, but do we feel that pain? Do
we understand that frustration? You know what, this president said very
clearly, he grew up in a family where, when gas prices went up, even a
little bit, they felt it at their house. That leadership from him, that
sense of empathy, the fact he grew up in that type of working-class
family is exactly what we feel… and the leadership and message we get
from the top down with this president," Sperling responded.
Stelter asked Sperling about whether there was "value" in looking at the
past and what the administration could have done about inflation and
why Biden was so dismissive about what economist Larry Summers warned at the time.
"I just think that is not a correct assessment of what’s caused
global inflation," Sperling said. "The OECD, which is 38 countries, the
38 largest countries, has average inflation of 9.2%. Average core
inflation of 6.2%. Do we think the actions of any individual country is
responsible for this entire global phenomenon of 9.2% inflation? No.
It’s been caused by things that were unforeseeable to Professor Summers
or others, the effect omicron and delta had on the semiconductor supply
correction, how that affected global vehicles, the unthinkable war in
Russia."
Biden outlined his plan for inflation in the Wall Street
Journal op-ed, emphasizing the importance of giving the Fed the room it
needs to implement the necessary changes.
He also called on
Congress to act on his social spending plan and to reform the tax code.
He blamed high gas prices on the war in Ukraine.
The average price per gallon hit $4.84 on Sunday, according to AAA.
President Donald Trump has an Achilles' heel when it comes to Russia. Over the years, he's made no secret that he has a soft spot for the country and its authoritarian leader, President Vladimir Putin. Trump has proved that he is willing to reject widely held US foreign policy views and align himself with the Kremlin on everything from Russian interference in US elections to the war in Syria. Most recently, Trump has denied the veracity of US intelligence reports accusing Russia of paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US troops in Afghanistan. Pressed on the topic during an interview with Axios that was released on Wednesday, Trump said he did not raise the issue during a recent phone call with Putin, and continued to suggest that the reports are "fake news." During the 2016 campaign, Trump's ties to Russians were so concerning that the FBI believed there was good reason to investigate potential collusion between his 2016 campaign an...
