Friend,

Today, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that inflation on all items rose 7% over the past 12 months — the fastest pace in 40 years.

Inflation rose for every major category of spending items with significant increases in:
  • Gas (+49.6%)
  • Utilities (+24.1%)
  • Used cars (+37.2%)
  • Food (+6.3%)
  • Apparel (+5.8%)
  • Shelter (+4.1)
TELL WASHINGTON: ENOUGH
Like many moms, I am frustrated by the bare shelves plaguing my local grocery store and big box retailers. 

We are paying 6.3% more for grocery basket goods while shelling out about 50% more to fuel our cars. On top of this, families face severe shortages of staples like baby formula, meat and poultry, and paper goods — leaving many scrambling to meet the most basic dietary and sanitary needs.

We can’t swallow higher prices and make hard choices indefinitely. Washington’s inflationary policies landed us here, and we need Washington to move out of the way.
