While speaking to a crowd of union supporters Tuesday, President Joe Bidenexplained, “Jobs are back but prices are still too high. Covid is down but gas prices are up. Our work isn’t done.”

He continued, “But here’s the deal: America still has a choice to make. A choice between a government by the few — for the few — or a government for all of us. Democracy for all of us. An economy where all of us have a fair shot and a chance to earn our place in the economy.”

It continues, “The invasion and related events are creating additional upward pressure on Inflation and are weighing on global economic activity. In addition, covid-related lockdowns in China are likely to exacerbate supply chain disruptions.”
