Joe Biden in The Cincinnati Enquirer

On Budget & Economy: Spending bills will create opportunity & drive down prices

BIDEN: The vast majority of the experts, including Wall Street, are suggesting that it's highly unlikely that it's going to be long-term inflation that's going to get out of hand. There will be near-term inflation, because everything is now trying to be picked back up.

BIDEN: Moody's said if we pass the other two things I'm trying to get done, we will reduce inflation, because we're going to be providing good opportunities and jobs for people who are going to be reinvesting that money back in all the things we're talking about, driving down prices, not raising prices.

On Budget & Economy: I'm tired of trickle down; build it out & up, not just down
