'These are investments that are not about overheating the economy, but actually providing the core elements that are going to allow us to sustain growth across time.'

Top White House economic adviser Brian Deese on Wednesday defended some of the Biden administration’s long-term spending plans, characterizing the proposed outlays as not connected to current inflation concerns — and as relatively modest.

“The public investment strategy we’re talking about here — that is a long-term strategy,” said Deese, whose title is director of the National Economic Council. “So, in terms of the impact on aggregate demand, it is spread out across time. And to the degree that people are feeling inflationary pressures in the short term, that really is not the issue.”

Regarding the price tags for some spending plans, Deese, a former BlackRock Inc. BLK, +0.08% executive, argued during his speech that they shouldn’t be viewed as too large.

White House: 70% of Americans 30 or older get COVID-19 shotWASHINGTON (AP) — More than 70% of Americans age 30 or older have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, the White House said, even as President Joe Biden is set to fall short of reaching his goal of giving a shot to the same percentage of all American adults by Independence Day. Is that because they didn't get the shot or they don't want one? Only the ignorant and backward RED states keep us from herd immunity. Really wish all the red states would join a confederation and leave the United States. They bog us down in Dark Ages ideas and Neanderthal practices. Amazing we got this far with so little help from Republicans. If you want to point out it’s trump’s vaccine that’s fine, but there’s no leadership evidence he’d be anywhere close to this rollout success rate.
