By any measure, President Biden had a bad Thursday. Democrat Sens. Sinema and Manchin said they’re not going to support efforts to nuke the filibuster so a “voting rights bill” and other spending initiatives can be passed, and the Supreme Court put a halt to much of this administration’s OSHA vaccine mandate. And then there was more inflation news:
JUST IN – U.S. producer price inflation jumps 9.7% in December from a year ago, the highest y/y increase on record.

Wholesale prices skyrocketing. Up ⬆️ 9.7% ⬆️ in the last year. This is the eighth straight series high. Near double-digit wholesale inflation that will soon feed into consumer prices. #Inflation

With President Biden’s approval rating continuing to circle the drain lower and lower, Jen Psaki joined the attempt to shift the blame for inflation to Republicans:
So the long-awaited GOP plan to fight inflation is…to do nothing?
Meanwhile @POTUS is using every tool at his disposal to bring down prices. Unclogging supply chains. Addressing corporate monopolies that hurt consumers. Advancing BBB to lower household costs AND inflation. https://t.co/BjXHeRLZmW

You can smell the desperation.
Pathetic blame shift 🙄 https://t.co/QWT30CIrw7

Hey Psaki, did you know the Dems have a majority in the House & Senate? https://t.co/FHpUFthByW

Psaki would rather everybody forget that this is entirely on the Democrats.
Hold on I thought the democrats had the majority in the house and 51 in the senate and the White House but the GOP has to figure it out for them?

Causing problems is this administration’s specialty. Solving them — not so much.
Lol! She claims BBB welfare package would lower inflation. https://t.co/BgAfQJNV9s

“Spend more money to halt the inflation that was caused by spending too much money” is the definition of insanity personified, but it’s not a bridge too far for this administration.
Yep and 33% of the country think he’s doing a good job!!! https://t.co/zn9Xo6aEAo

Wanting to spend trillions to bring down inflation. https://t.co/FPrbwvkvDc

Why are you talking about inflation still, y’all said it was “transitory” and now you’re saying it’s our fault? https://t.co/UaP7EEaJer

Weird how that worked out, right?
