It’s been two months since President Biden signed the falsely named “Inflation Reduction Act” into law – yet, as Republicans warned, inflation is only getting worse. September’s Consumer Price Index report reveals inflation increased 0.4% from August and soared a whopping 8.2% from last September – both the month-over-month and year-over-year figures toppling expectations. From travel expenses, including gas (+18.2%) and airline fares (+42.9%), to monthly utilities (electricity +15.5%) and groceries (+13%), Americans are paying the price for Big Government Socialist Democrat one-party rule in Washington.
Unfortunately, you and your family know this harsh reality all too well. The average Georgian household has been forced to increase monthly spending by $682 – totaling nearly $8,200 annually. Yet the White House remains in complete denial of Democrats’ self-inflicted inflation crisis, instead laser-focused on squandering more of your hard-earned tax dollars on their Big Government Socialist agenda. It seems the Biden Administration's only response to ongoing price hikes involves deflecting the blame and downplaying the crisis. Thankfully, Americans aren’t buying Biden’s excuses. In a recent CBS poll, 65% of Americans think the economy is getting worse, over 90% say President Biden bears responsibility for the economy, and nearly 50% believe Democrat policies have harmed the economy. Rest assured, when House Republicans earn back the majority, we will turn these numbers around and get our country back on track by providing the American people with an economy that’s strong again.
