Biden rails against 'Republican obstructionism' with his economic agenda on life-support: 'I refuse to let them stand in the way of this recovery'
"They want to talk down the recovery because they voted against the legislation that made it happen," Biden said."My focus is on keeping this recovery strong and durable, notwithstanding Republican obstructionism," he added.He noted that he has a"three-part plan" to ensure economic recovery continues: fixing the supply-chain crisis, protecting consumers and promoting competition, and lowering costs for food.
Biden also touted the $2 trillion Build Back Better plan, now stalled out in the 50-50 Senate. Republicans are lined up against it, prompting Senate Democrats to circumvent them using a party-line process known as reconciliation.from Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia. Getting it across the finish line would likely require further spending cuts to satisfy Manchin's fiscal concerns about exploding the national debt, which many Democrats argue is unfounded.
