Since President Biden took office, the price of gasoline has risen 55 percent, the price of electricity is up close to 30 percent, the price of groceries is up more than 20 percent, and the price of baby food is up 30 percent. Across Pennsylvania, families are feeling the effects of this inflation. On average, they are paying an additional $70 a month for housing and an additional $240 a month for transportation. Since 2021, Pennsylvania households have spent over $20,000 more than they would have because of inflation. Recently, President Biden has attempted to claim that inflation was already at 9 percent annually when he took office, when, in fact, it was only at 1.4 percent. What we are seeing is a President who has failed in his duty to protect American families. In central Pennsylvania, more than 100,000 families make less than $50,000 a year. Mothers shouldn't have to make a decision on whether to buy gasoline or to buy school lunches. Parents should not have to worry at the kitchen table about paying their credit card bill or their rent. This is the reality that President Biden's radical spending spree has created over the past 4 years. It is time to return to fiscal sanity, and it is time to once again be responsible stewards of the taxpayer dollar. No matter what President Biden says in his campaign speeches, inflation is the fault of his administration, and it is time to put a stop to the President's failed policies. Recognizing Memorial Day
