FNC's Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre what the president has "to show" for inflation being his number one economic priority: <blockquote>PETER DOOCY, FOX NEWS: Thank you, Karine. Following up on something you said earlier. If the president's top domestic priority is inflation, why doesn't he have more to show for it? KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: So the president understands and we have talked about this many times that inflation is an issue, high cost, cost is an issue for the American people, and so he's been very clear about making that his number one economic priority. And he has done the work and he's done the work with Congressional Democrats when you think about the Inflation Reduction Act, which is going to lower the cost for our seniors, millions and millions of seniors across the country when you think about the $2,000 cap on their own Medicare prescriptions, when you think about the thousands of dollars that our seniors pay a month, now that's going to be $2,000 a year. That is the work that congressional Democrats and congressional Democrats and the president has done, Republicans did not vote for that at all. And what Republicans want to do is that they want to repeal that very historic piece of legislation that is also going to lower energy costs, that is also going to help fight climate change, they want to get rid of it. So there is a contrast that we are going to make which is how Republicans are actually going to make things worse and Democrats want to do the opposite and make things a little easier. I just talked about the hearing aids, which is going to help 30 million Americans across the country. DOOCY: But who exactly thinks the president is doing a good job on inflation? Because we have a new poll that finds he receives his lowest job ratings on inflation. Net negative, 38 points. JEAN-PIERRE: We understand there are challenges that are in front of us here in this country, that is why the president has taken action to lower costs. Think about gas prices, you think about healthcare, healthcare premiums, you think about medicare again, beating special interest so that we can lower costs, so medicare can be able to lower costs for senior citizens. When you think about all of these steps he has taken to make sure that that is happening. Republicans, Republicans in Congress refuse, they refuse to be partners with us on this. They refuse to help us. You think about the American Rescue Plan that has helped create an economy that is indeed resilient. That created jobs. They refuse to help. DOOCY: Have the president's economic advisors told him the general consensus now is that the American Rescue Plan has contributed to inflation? JEAN-PIERRE: Look, [Treasury] Secretary Yellen, who is incredibly well respected as you know in the economics space, has spoken to this. So I will leave her words, speak to the statement that you just made. Here is the thing. What the president has done, the issues he has worked on, we think about medicare, inflation costs, inflation reduction act, you think about the chips act, they are popular with the American people. They understand, the American people understand what these pieces of legislation, that we have worked so hard to get across the line and are now law is going to change -- change the lives of American people. Now, is there work to be done, there is always more work to be done but we are making -- we are taking the steps to do that. Again, Congressional Republicans are doing nothing, absolutely nothing. They want to repeal, they want to take away the advances that we have made. </blockquote>
