This Week: At A Glance

Monday, Rep. Young Kim (CA-40) highlighted new data from Moody’s Analytics showing that the average American household is spending $709 more per month than they were just two years ago. Meanwhile, real wages are stuck at 2019 levels.

Tuesday, Judge Wendy Davis (IN-03) criticized the out-of-control spending policies of "Bidenomics" that have driven up the cost of virtually everything. This week, Americans' total credit card debt surpassed $1 TRILLION for the first time ever.

Wednesday, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) pointed out that even Joe Biden himself has admitted Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act should have been named something else. Ernst recently noted that "in visits to 75 of Iowa’s 99 counties this year, the top issue raised by constituents continues to be high prices at the grocery store and the gas pump."

Thursday, Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R-AL) called out Joe Biden for lying about the state of the U.S. economy. Mortgage rates are the highest they have been in 20 years.
