The White House on May 16 responded to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos after he said that the Biden administration would have contributed to the inflation crisis if it wasn’t blocked by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.).
“It doesn’t require a huge leap to figure out why one of the wealthiest individuals on Earth opposes an economic agenda for the middle class that cuts some of the biggest costs families face, fights inflation for the long haul, and adds to the historic deficit reduction the president is achieving by asking the richest taxpayers and corporations to pay their fair share,” Andrew Bates, a White House spokesman, said in a statement.
