“Mr. President, Florida families hear a lot of talk up here in Washington about inflation. Right now, inflation is raging over 9 percent across America. I was warning about the coming inflation crisis back in February of last year, but now basically everyone in the Senate--Republicans and Democrats alike--have joined me in talking about just how horrific this is for families in each of our States. In Florida, inflation is costing families nearly $800 more every month. Imagine being a family on a fixed income and having to pay double rent each month or adding a luxury car payment to your monthly expenses. That is essentially what families in my State are dealing with since Joe Biden took office. It is a new tax on families at every income level, a tax created by the sheer incompetence of Joe Biden. It hurts our poorest families-- like mine growing up--the very most. Now, we know what causes this inflation. It is reckless government spending. On this side of the political aisle, we aren't afraid to tell this truth, but our Democratic colleagues, with the exception of one or two, won't do it. It is fine. You would probably imagine that, in a 50-50 Senate, we would still be able to hold the line and stop reckless spending in its tracks. Nope, not in broken Washington.
