Rapid Inflation Fuels Debate Over What’s to Blame: Pandemic or Policy

The price increases bedeviling consumers, businesses and policymakers worldwide have prompted a heated debate in Washington about how much of today’s rapid inflation is a result of policy choices in the United States and how much stems from global factors tied to the pandemic, like snarled supply chains.

Opinion | What Biden’s Chief of Staff Has Learned, One Year In

So now we’ve been through a yet larger pandemic. Are there things you’ve learned on how the U.S. government should structurally be set up to operate during a pandemic that we need to take into account, going forward?

And while it might be hard for “President Senator” to let go of a place he served for four decades, Democrats told us it’s a political necessity: “He has vast power in the regulatory, law enforcement and foreign policy realms,” Paul Begala, a Democratic consultant, said. “He can do a lot without Congress.” “Biden needs […] More

Opinion | Amanda Gorman: Why I Almost Didn’t Read My Poem at the Inauguration
