On CNN's State of the Union, Jake Tapper asks Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo why the Biden administration was "caught flat-footed" by high inflation, rising gas prices, and the nationwide baby formula shortage.
Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo was pressed on
CNN Sunday about the Biden administration looking "flat-footed" in its
response to inflation and the baby formula shortage, at one point citing France's higher gas prices as a defense of White House policies.
Raimondo
blamed inflation and high gas prices on the war in Ukraine and supply
chain issues during the pandemic after "State of the Union" host Jake
Tapper pointed to her comments from July. She said that inflation would
be temporary and a short-term problem, but it's bedeviled President
Biden and the nation for months.
"So you got it wrong, too," Tapper said.
"So,
clearly we are and Americans are struggling with inflation. But I don’t
think anyone predicted Putin’s war in Ukraine or various other things
that have happened that have been unexpected. I still think we will get
inflation under control. We just have to stick with it and see it
through," Raimondo told Tapper. She said that the war would continue to
drive prices up, adding, "we can't deny that."
Tapper continued to press Raimondo on the administration's role in
contributing to inflation. He cited economist Larry Summers, who said
there was a "chance" Biden's American Rescue Plan could fuel inflation, by pumping the economy with too much money.
"I don't really agree with that characterization. The reality is, I
was just in Europe a couple of weeks ago. Gas in France is $10 a gallon.
They didn't have an American Rescue Plan like we did. I shudder to
think, Jake, what we would be living through right now if we didn't have
the American Rescue Plan. Remember, that was the money for
vaccinations, which actually allowed us to get everybody back to work,"
she said.
Inflation hit 8.3% in April, a slight decrease from March's Consumer Price Index. In March, inflation climbed to 8.5%, a 40-year-high.
Tapper
also asked Raimondo about the administration's response to the baby
formula shortage. Raimondo said she first heard about the issue in April
but noted that she was not involved in the response to it.
Following the closing of the Abbott plant in Sturgis, Michigan,
parents across the country have struggled to find and purchase baby
formula. Biden said on Friday that a shipment of 33 million bottles of baby formula were headed to the U.S.
"We're
talking about two critical issues here that directly affect the
American people where they live. Where the Biden administration looks
like it was caught flat-footed – inflation and baby formula, not to
mention the record gas prices, which were hurt by the war in Ukraine, no
doubt, but that's not the only reason why they're so high. Why does it
seem the Biden administration is consistently playing clean-up on these
problems that are playing out exactly as many experts forecast they
would instead of heading them off before they become a crisis?" Tapper
asked.
Raimondo said that it was "one way to look at it," and continued to
praise Biden's leadership and decisions. After noting she didn't want to
"minimize" inflation, she said, "fundamentally, what we have here is a
robust economic recovery. And I think that's in large part due to the
president's leadership."
The average gas price could hit $5 per gallon soon and are already setting records. The average price per gallon reached $4.84 on Sunday, according to AAA.
The Abbott plant reopened and restarted production on Saturday. EleCare
formula and other special metabolic formulas will be available on June
20, according to the company.
"The World at a Crossroads: Donald Trump’s Presidency and Its Global Impact" When Donald Trump took the oath of office in January 2017, he promised a revolution in the way America interacted with the world. With his bold slogan, “America First,” Trump tore up the rulebook, upended norms, and redefined the United States’ role on the global stage. His presidency, marked by unorthodox decisions and sharp rhetoric, left an indelible impact on geopolitics, trade, and international diplomacy. Disrupting Global Alliances From the start, Trump made clear his disdain for what he saw as unfair burdens on the United States in global alliances. NATO, the bedrock of transatlantic security, came under fire as Trump accused member states of “freeloading.” His demand for increased defense spending sparked tension but also yielded results, as European nations stepped up their contributions. At the same time, Trump’s decision to withdraw the U.S. from key international agreements, such as...
GiẢI: VẼ DG vuông góc vối AH (G thuộc AH). Suy ra: DG//BC. Ta có: Góc BAH = góc BCA ( cùng phụ góc B) Mà góc BCA = góc GDA (góc trong cùng phía) Do đó: góc BAH = góc GDA Xét hai tam giác ABH và DAG, ta có: ü góc BAH = góc GDA (chứng minh trên) ü AB=AD ( giả thuyết) ü ABH vuông tại H, và AHG vuông tại G. Nếu học tới các trường hợp bằng nhau của tam giác vuông thì ghi là: Tam giác ABH = tam giác DAG (cạnh huyền góc nhon) Nếu chưa học tới thì ghi: Tam giác ABH = tam giác DAG (góc cạnh góc) Suy ra: AH=DG Lại có: DG=HE (vì EDGH là hình chủ nhật) Vậy AH=HE Sau này nếu có bài khó muốn hỏi thì em có thể vào đây ghi câu hỏi: Đặt câu hỏi .
