Larry Summers is probably the most famous of them, but was warning that This was such a massive package that it would predictably cause inflation. And at the time, I thought that was ridiculous. I no longer think it was ridiculous.

So I don't know. I know a lot of people who are very enthusiastic about the Inflation Reduction Act. I can't name a single one of them who thinks it reduced inflation.

The core of my critique of Biden is his handling of the Build Back Better process, that this was his big initiative domestically in the first two years. He had a congressional majority. It was like the two years when Obama passed Obamacare or George W. Bush passed the Bush tax cuts, Trump passed the Trump tax cuts.

It was this window that presidents often get where Congress is on their side and they can pass something big domestically. I think the big error of Biden is that Build Back Better from the beginning was not one thing. It was a hodgepodge of a lot of different things.

And the problem was they had a very thin majority in the Senate that included sort of two problem senators in Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia. December 2021, Manchin made an offer that would include universal pre-K permanently, as well as expanded health care subsidies and clean energy credits. So it's a lot of what they want. It's not everything.
