The Facts About "Bidenomics"


Month after month, the data shows that Republican governors are leading the way in spite of Bidenomics. As families are burdened with falling real wages, out-of-control spending, and sky high costs, Republicans are continuing to lead the economic recovery through job growth.


What you need to know:

  • Republican-led states are the ones creating jobs and leading the economic recovery.
  • The latest state jobs report shows that 8 of the top 10 states for jobs recovered since the coronavirus pandemic began are led by Republican governors, and all 10 states have Republican-controlled legislatures.
  • Out of the top 10 states with the lowest unemployment rates, 8 are led by Republican governors.
  • 17 states have hit new record low unemployment rates – 12 of which have Republican governors.
  • According to a report by CNBC, nine out of the top 10 states for business friendliness are Republican-led.
  • Additionally, eight of the top 10 states with the strongest economies have Republican governors.
  • Biden's failed economic agenda has done nothing but hurt Americans. 
  • Prices have risen by 16.6% since Biden took office with Americans still reeling from the lasting effects of inflation.
  • Real wages are 3% lower than when Biden took office.
  • Families have paid over $10,000 since Biden took office to afford the same goods under the increased cost of living.
  • The debt levels of American families have skyrocketed
  • Nearly 25 million Americans are behind on their credit cards, auto loans, or personal loans - a number not seen since 2009. 
  • Credit card balances are now at an all-time high
  • According to Bloomberg, middle-class households have lost an average of $33,000 in real wealth in just the last year.
  • Over 80% view the economy as “negative” and say Biden’s policies have done them no good.
