The blowback from President Joe Biden’s weekend remarks about prices rising “just an inch, hardly at all” continued during the week, with the House Oversight Committee hearing from one of its members during a session on Sept. 22 on corporate profiteering that “the White House is now measuring inflation in inches,” and is downplaying the pain of high prices on American households.
The critical remarks were made by Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas), ranking member of the Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy, which is part of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. The subcommittee was on Thursday discussing the role of corporate profiteering as a contributor to inflation.
