Contributor's comments:
President Joe Biden's top economic adviser on Sunday cited rising inflation in the US as a reason for Congress to pass the President's massive economic package, arguing the legislation will help stymie rapidly rising prices of consumer goods.
"Well, inflation is high right now, and it is affecting consumers in their pocketbook and also in their outlook for the economy. But those concerns underscore why it's so important that we move forward on the Build Back Better legislation -- this legislation that the House is going to consider this week," Brian Deese, the director of the National Economic Council, told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
This contributor suggests: Ah, no! Here we have a political appointee saying what he is expected to say, without regard to the rationality of it. Economic advisor becomes political pitch man, at the expense of credibiltyi... who needs it? It's not like the American public can reason.
