From the Department of, "Well, Duh"

It appears that the Biden administration is concerned that there will be costs to the American public from the sanctions against Russia.

This is not a surprise.  There will be markets in Russia that will be closed, it's likely that Russian energy production will fall, driving up costs, and given that Russia and the Ukraine account for nearly ¼ of grain exports, it's likely that food prices will rise worldwide, which will also increase instability in poorer nations.

All actions have costs.

The solution is to get ahead of the story, and make it clear to the American public what these costs are, and why they are necessary.
