President Biden said the United States "has never seen anything like Putin’s tax on both food and gas," after the Labor Department announced Friday that inflation hit a new four-decade high in May. "Today I'd like to speak about my top economic priority, fighting inflation," Biden said. "We’ve never seen anything like Putin’s tax on both food and gas," Biden said. "Gas prices at the pump, energy and food prices account for half of the monthly price increases since May." Surveys show that Americans see inflation as the biggest problem facing the country – and that many households blame Biden for the price spike.
