The Consumer Price Index (CPI), a key inflation index, came in “hotter than expected” in January, increasing at an annual rate of 3.1% and overall prices are up 17.9% since Biden took office. This is just the latest example of Bidenomics continuing to fail Americans, as they are forced to pay more for everyday necessities while earning less because of Bidenflation. 
 
MAKE NO MISTAKE: Bidenflation is a direct result of Joe Biden’s out-of-control government spending. House Republicans have hit the ground running to rein in Biden’s reckless spending and restore fiscal responsibility to Washington.
