President Joe Biden acknowledged the economic pains Americans are feeling while pointing to progress he said his administration has made to build an economy around working people in an address to labor leaders in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Biden, speaking at the AFL-CIO Constitutional Convention at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, blamed Republicans in Congress for “doing everything they can to stop my plan to bring down costs for ordinary Americans.”
“That’s why my plan is not finished, and why the results aren’t finished either,” Biden said. “Jobs are back, but prices are still too high. COVID is down, but gas prices are up. Our work isn’t done. But here’s the deal: America still has a choice to make. A choice between a government by the few — for the few — or a government for all of us. Democracy for all of us. An economy where all of us have a fair shot and a chance to earn our place in the economy.”
