High Inflation Continues to Hurt Working Americans

Dear Texans,

Today’s CPI report shows that the American economy continues to be ravaged by high inflation caused by President Biden and Democrats’ reckless spending. Inflation remains at the top of concerns for Americans and small business owners across the country who are forced to choose whether they can afford groceries, housing, or gas. The year-over-year inflation rate of 6.4% is a reminder of the economic headwinds and challenges facing Main Street and hardworking families daily. 

Since President Biden took office, we've seen the rate of inflation jump from 1.4% to a record high of 9.1%, real wages have declined by 3.9%, and energy prices have increased by 42%. This high rate of inflation cannot be the status quo.

While inflation continues to rise for 15th consecutive months, the President has been taking a victory lap and refuses to take responsibility for the inflation crisis we have seen for two years under his watch. As Chairman of the House Small Business Committee, I am committed to creating an economic environment where small businesses and American families can once again thrive. We must start with curbing the Democrats reckless spending habits and bringing back fiscal order in Washington. 

In God we trust,

Roger Williams

Member of Congress
