https://www.allsides.com/news-source/hill-media-biasOn March 11, 2021, with the economy already well into a recovery, President Biden signed into law the American
Rescue Plan (ARP), a nearly $2 trillion deficit-financed stimulus package that initiated the worst inflationary
environment in 40 years.
The current rate of inflation remains over double what it was before the Biden Administration and core inflation
remains triple its pre-Biden level. Worse yet, the cumulative level of inflation has reached 17.1 percent under this
presidency. This reflects the myriad price increases that have become โbaked inโ for consumers and resulted in a
permanent decline in the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar.
Due to Bidenflation, a family of four is paying an additional $15,133 per year, or $1,261 per month, to purchase the
same goods and services compared to when President Biden took office.
These failed Bidenomics policies are crushing hardworking families and decimating the future of so many in America.
President Biden loves to relate issues to โkitchen [or dinner] tableโ discussions when defending his policies, but he
fails to address how much more expensive his policies have made it to put food on those very tables. Hereโs a quick
breakdown of how much prices have increased since he took office:
โข Egg prices are up 21.2 percent
โข Butter, fats, and oil prices are up 32.0
percent
โข Cereal and grain prices are up 23.5
percent
โข Beef prices are up 21.9 percent
โข Poultry prices are up 25.0 percent
โข Milk prices are up 15.3 percent
โข Bakery prices are up 26.5 percent
โข Fruit and vegetable prices are up 14.1
percent
โข Pork prices are up 15.3 percent
โข Fish and seafood prices are up 12.5
percent
Unaffordable Energy:
President Bidenโs debilitating energy policies - such as canceling the Keystone XL pipeline, putting infrastructure
projects through endless permitting delays, and repeatedly threatening to put energy producers out of business -
have all contributed to higher energy prices and dependence on foreign energy - even as we see continued
escalation in the Middle East. This American-last energy policy has been compounded by a rapid explosion in
regulations and higher taxes โ further straining energy production and the competitiveness of American businesses.
o Gasoline prices are up 53.0 percent
o The average family of four is paying an additional $1,436 per year or $119 per month to
purchase the same amount of gasoline.
o Fuel oil prices are up 62.5 percent
o The average family of four is paying an additional $70 per year or $5 per month to purchase
same amount of fuel oil.
o Natural gas prices are up 22.5 percent
o The average family of four is paying an additional $125 per year or $10 per month to purchase
the same amount of natural gas.
o Electricity prices are up 23.4 percent
o The average family of four is paying an additional $448 per year or $37 per month to purchase
the same amount of electricity.
Housing Costs Are Through the Roof:
Rising housing and shelter prices have made it nearly impossible for young people and new families to afford an
adequate place to live. Since President Biden took office, overall housing prices have increased by 17.7 percent.
o Median mortgage payments on newly purchased homes are up almost 100 percent, due to both inflation
and higher interest rates
o New homeowners are paying an additional $14,418 per year or $1,201 per month for owning a
home.
o Overall Rental prices, including for housing purchased before Bidenflation, is up 17.4 percent
o The average family of four is paying an additional $740 per year or $61 per month for rent.
o Home furnishings and equipment prices are up 23.4 percent
o The average family of four is paying an additional $513 per year or $42 per month on home
furnishings and equipment.
Forcing Americans to Take a Hike:
President Bidenโs assault on automobiles has led to higher prices on vehicles and transportation.
o New vehicle prices are up 19.5 percent
o Used vehicle prices are up 23.7 percent
o Public transportation prices are up 13.8 percent
o New car loan payments are up 27.2 percent โ costing Americans an additional $2,010 per year or $167 per
month โ as a result of inflation and higher interest rates
Declining Wages and Shrinking Incomes:
The sharp increase in prices, combined with slow wage growth, has resulted in a decline in real wages โ that is,
inflation-adjusted wages. Real wages remain 4.9 percent below the level when Biden took office, or about $60
lower per week. In total, workers have lost an average of $6,000 in real wages under President Biden.
