Since Joe Biden Took Office Bidenflation Has Skyrocketed By 20.1%

Bidenflation continues to be a tax on every American. In May, the Consumer Price Index, a key inflation index, showed that since Joe Biden took office inflation has skyrocketed by 20.1%. Biden inherited an economy that was booming from President Trump with an inflation rate that was just 1.4%. But, Biden's failed Far Left Democrat agenda and reckless spending have caused the price for just about everything to skyrocket.
