Biden’s economic team is defended by an ex-Obama adviser as “excellent” professionals in a “very difficult situation.”
Jason Furman, a former chair of the Obama Council of Economic Advisers, responded to pressure placed on President Biden’s economic advisors regarding record-high inflation during an interview on “Cavuto: Coast to Coast” on Friday. He claimed the White House is in a challenging situation both economically and politically.
FURMAN, Jason Economically and otherwise, the situation is very challenging. His top economic advisors, in my opinion, are top-notch. They’re simply coping with a very difficult situation, both politically and economically, in my opinion. Working with this Congress and completing tasks that you might want to assist with is difficult. However, I don’t believe it is due to a lack of talent. It’s difficult.
