Even Democrats Begin To Realize That Bidenomics Is Failing
‘Across the country, working families continue to report that soaring prices are their top concern. Among workers and small businesses owners alike, just 28% of Americans say they’re satisfied with the state of the economy. And 59% disapprove of the President’s policies behind it.’
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) delivered the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding the economy:
“I spoke yesterday about the list of urgent and unfinished business Congress has to address in the coming weeks. We’ll start with resuming our work on full-year appropriations – to invest in critical infrastructure, take care of America’s farmers, and continue modernizing our military to contend with adversaries like China.
“But we’ll also need to make progress on supplemental resources:
“For safeguarding America’s direct interest in Ukraine’s defense…
“For helping communities pick up the pieces after natural disasters…
“For restoring security and sanity to our southern border and to the streets of our cities.
“The nation is watching closely for progress on each of these priorities.
“And in the meantime, they’re continuing to face the painful reality of Washington Democrats’ historic inflation.
“Across the country, working families continue to report that soaring prices are their top concern.
“Among workers and small businesses owners alike, just 28% of Americans say they’re satisfied with the state of the economy. And 59% disapprove of the President’s policies behind it.
“Working Americans watched Washington Democrats pour trillions of taxpayer dollars into a wish list of liberal spending, driving up the prices of everything from groceries to housing.
“They watched the President’s war on abundant American energy send home heating and gas prices through the roof.
“Meanwhile, the wave of violent crime I spoke about yesterday isn’t just terrorizing citizens – it’s shutting down Main Street businesses.
“According to one recent retail industry survey, increased violence makes it harder for retail stores to maintain inventory, and inhibits hiring and staff retention.
“Across the country, 45% of retailers are reporting that they’ve reduced store operating hours in response, and 28% have had to close stores, outright.
“Of course, these nightmares come on top of the thicket of Biden Administration red tape that’s already made it as hard as ever to create and sustain a business here in America.
“So Mr.President, this is Bidenomics in action.
“In the past week, a flurry of headlines have reported that even Democrats are beginning to worry that the President’s decision to put his personal brand on this latest economy is turning out to be a political misstep.
“Well it’s a good thing they’re finally recognizing what working Americans have known for almost three years now.”
