Top financial analysts dispel GOP claim that Biden agenda will fuel inflation



By Josh Israel -November 17, 2021 11:16 AM

Republicans have been baselessly claiming the Build Back Better jobs proposal will worsen inflation.

For weeks, Republican lawmakers have asserted — with no evidence — that President Joe Biden's investment plans will make inflation worse. On Tuesday, two major financial analysis services predicted they will not.

In an interview with Reuters, Moody's Investor Service vice president William Foster predicted that Biden's just-signed $550 billion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the proposed $1.75 trillion Build Back Better climate and caregiving infrastructure proposal "should not have any real material impact on inflation."

Finch Ratings senior director Charles Seville told the wire service that the two measures "will neither boost nor quell inflation much in the short-run" but could actually increase the labor supply and productivity in the longer term.
