On Sunday,he kept it up,sharing a post that criticised Biden’s claims to have reduced the federal deficit.
Bezos alleged that the administration tried to approve even more economic stimulus but was stopped bySenator Joe Manchin - an apparent reference to the White House’s long-stalled Build Back Better economic agenda.
Those plans,though,were designed as long-term structural changes to the US economy,not as economic stimulus.
“In fact,the administration tried hard to inject even more stimulus into an already over-heated,inflationary economy and only Manchin saved them from themselves,” said Bezos,who is the owner ofThe Washington Post.
“Inflation is a regressive tax that most hurts the least affluent. Misdirection doesn’t help the country.”
The White House responded by pointing out that Bezos’ attacks emerged days after Biden met in the Oval Office with the labor leaders behind Amazon’s unionisation drive,which the company has vehemently opposed.
