In the lead-up to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address, several Republican lawmakers and the GOP have criticized the economic impact of his administration, highlighting significant increases in living costs. Senator Marsha Blackburn noted a 21% increase in grocery prices, a 32% rise in energy prices, and a 32% hike in gasoline prices, attributing these to 'Bidenflation.' Representative Mike Bost and Representative Jim Baird echoed these sentiments, stating food prices have surged by approximately 20.8%, and Americans are now spending over $11,400 more annually for basic necessities, with prices overall up by 17.9%, rent by 6.1%, and the cost of shelter by 6%. They criticized 'Bidenomics,' suggesting it has not benefited the American people as claimed. Senator Bill Cassidy and the GOP also expressed concerns over inflation and the rising costs of gas, housing, and insurance, arguing that Biden's policies have made it challenging for American families to make ends meet. Representative Randy Feenstra quantified the burden of 'Bidenomics' as costing American families an extra $1,019 every month for gas and groceries.
#Bidenomics costs American families an extra $1,019 every month to buy gas and groceries compared to just three years ago!

While @POTUS will try to spin it, it's clear America is far worse off after 3 years of Joe Biden. Inflation is crushing American families. Bidenomics is raising gas, housing, and insurance prices. Louisiana cannot afford Joe Biden's America. https://t.co/krGIWkXsZo
During his State of the Union address, Biden is sure to claim that Bidenomics has been a huge success. Let’s set the record straight. During Biden’s presidency: 🚨Prices are up 17.9% 🚨Rent is up 6.1% 🚨The cost of shelter is up 6% 🚨 Americans are paying $11,400 more each year.
During his State of the Union address later this week, Biden is sure to tout Bidenomics as if his policies have been a good thing for the American people. Truth is, since he took office, food prices are up 20.8% & Americans are spending over $11,400 more a year to buy the basics.
Grocery prices are up 21%. Energy prices have risen by 32%. Gasoline prices are up 32%. The consequences of Bidenflation are very real for the American people.
