Ahead of the upcoming holiday weekend, the White House unveiled a series of Thanksgiving “talking points” touting the achievements of the Biden administration.
White House Chief of Staff Ronald Klain shared an image titled “President Biden’s Accomplishments for Talking to Your Uncle on Thanksgiving” to his Twitter account, a day before the popular holiday.
Notable points include the Biden administration’s praise for “fighting inflation and cutting costs,” which includes lower gasoline prices since June, the White House added.
According to tracking by AAA, the national average is currently $3.66 per gallon. Even the cheapest state for gasoline, Texas, still averages $2.99.
The infographic also celebrated recent prescription drug reforms, proclaiming that Biden had finally won an elusive victory over “Big Pharma.”
The Reducing Inflation Act, passed in early August, included provisions allowing Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices for the first time in its history and also capped the cost of some drugs, although this applies also largely to seniors on Medicare.
The tweet also took aim at Republicans in Congress, calling them “extreme” for “proposing a national abortion ban” and for “planning to put Medicare and Social Security on the chopping block,” popular programs that face serious funding problems over the next few decades.
