The White House has pushed hard this week to show America it is fighting inflation.<\/p>\n

The myriad actions range from an Oval Office meeting with Fed Chair Jerome Powell to an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal with President Biden’s byline to economic officials appearing on television at least 20 times on Tuesday alone – including top Biden adviser Brian Deese on Yahoo Finance.<\/p>\n

But the flurry comes after over a year where many have criticized policymakers in Washington for reacting too slowly as inflation spiked to a 40-year high. It also comes as Biden himself is reportedly frustrated that his own administration di lui hasn’t been showing enough concern.<\/p>\n

Inflation is “my top priority,” Biden said Tuesday, adding that he aims to “transition from a historic recovery to a steady growth that works for American families.” But he may face an uphill climb with polls consistently showing a low job approval rating on the economy and Democrats bracing for midterm losses.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, a review of comments over the last 15 months shows just how often the durability of inflation – along with new factors like pandemic surges and the war in Europe regularly added in – have forced the White House to change its tone month to month. These shifting messages make it look like Biden and his lieutenants di lui, as well as Federal Reserve officials, are constantly playing catch-up.<\/p>\n

Here’s a timeline of the White House’s messaging on inflation:<\/p>\n
