Tweet Text comes from; Remarks by President Biden on Bidenomics (07/06/2023):
President Biden:
Trickle-down economics has failed the country for decades. It means slashing public investment on things that helped America lead the world in innovation. You know, we used to invest 2 percent of our entire gross domestic product in research and development. You know what it is now? 0.7 percent.

There isn’t a ton of White House info on this meeting. It wasn’t on President Biden’s public schedule for Monday. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about the meeting during Monday’s press briefing:
Q: Thanks, Karine. I saw there was a report that President Biden and Senator Sanders are meeting with labor organizers today at the White House. I was wondering, I guess, one, if you had any details on that. And two, if the President has any plans to raise the senator’s — his decision to hold up the President’s NIH nominee while the two are at the White House today.
So a couple of things about the President — the President and Senator. They’re going to drop by a White House meeting with young workers organizing unions in a ver- — variety of industries, many of which have not traditionally been organized. Workers — workers participating in Monday’s meeting include employees of Starbucks, Minor League Baseball, Bluebird, and — and Sega.
During Monday’s meeting, the President and Senator Sanders are expected to congratulate organizers for the work they’ve done to lead a resurgence of labor organizing across the country and discuss his belief that worker power is essential to growing the economy from the middle out and bottom up.
So administration officials — just a few of them who are going to be joining — joining the — the — the President and the senator — it might; I think might be — it may have happened already — is Act- — Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su; the White House National Economic Council Director, Lael Brai- — Brainard; and White House Director of Government Affairs Tom Perez. And so those are going to be the folks who have — I think already — I think this already happened — joined — joined the President and the senator.
And I think he might be going to the sticks at some point to take your questions.
Q And were there any plans to raise the concerns about the NIH nominee or were —
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: That part I can’t —
Q — there any discussion at all?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: — I can’t speak to what was brought up in — in the conversation that he may have had with the President. But I can tell you about this meeting that occurred moments ago.
