news that our economy had zero percent inflation in the month of julyy, zero percent. okay, we ll have more on that a little bit later in the show, i promise. but first, there never been a more important day for the permanent washington time than inauguration day for joe biden. january 20th last year it was moment democrats and their voters in the federal bureaucracy have been waiting for for four years. none of it had to do with joe biden or possibilities his presidency could bring to them.t the best part about joe biden taking office was donald trump was leaving office, although it was made possible because somehow voters during a pandemicus had accomplished what, four years off witch hunts, pausing to investigate the full force of surveillance state could not removing donald trump from the white house despite getting seventy four million votes. but it quickly becameus clear removing donald trump was not the end goal. believe it or not, almost immediately joe biden and his
everyday americans. listen. i didn t change my mind. i never changed at all. this is fighting inflation. we ve closed loopholes and didn t raise taex. it doesn t raise taxes. it is an investment. i won t be responsible for inflaming the inflation rate. it is a red, white and blue deal. his colleagues in the senate disagree. pat toomey said manchin got duped. he got taken to the cleaners. the same gimmick he said he was opposed to. they claim the revenue over a 10-year window from the tax increase and price controls and then the expenditure they knowledge they pretend it will only be three years. these numbers are very dubious. the new york post editorial board call it joe manchin s anti-made in america bill. sinema was absent from the recent round of talks. silence is stressing out democrats who desperately need her vote. we got art laffer, economic advise hor to former president reagan in focus today but first edward lawrence joins us from the white house. the re
