With the economy still recovering from liberal lockdowns, the damage done in President Biden’s first year is staggering. Out-of-control spending has skyrocketed inflation to a near 40-year high, resulting in a 2.4% pay cut for American workers. Green New Deal policies have ended the era of energy independence and forced Americans to pay more at the pump for foreign oil. Small businesses are struggling to find employees because liberals’ expansion of the welfare state enticed millions to leave the workforce.
 
Despite this backward, liberal agenda from Washington, D.C., conservative state leaders have passed policies to support strong economies. All four states that have passed pre-pandemic employment levels and 17 of the top 20 states for employment recovery since the start of the pandemic are led by conservatives. State conservatives will continue to implement policies that encourage business creation, raise wages, and lower the cost of living.
