Barrasso: Under Biden Economy, American Families Pay the Price
U.S. Senator John Barrasso (WY-R) recently spoke on the Senate floor about the current state of the economy and the inflation rate. Barrasso said as we come to the end of another calendar year, Americans are asking themselves a simple question – are we better off today than we were a year ago?
Barrasso said it’s easy to see why the American people are concerned.
Barrasso said since President Joe Biden took office, prices have gone up much faster than wages and as a result, the typical American family can purchase less today than they could a year ago and that people have had to change the way they drive, they shop, and they eat. By one estimate, Barrasso said families are paying $175 more every month because of inflation since Biden took office and that equates to about $2,000 a year, a bite out of the paychecks of the American people equivalent to a loss of $2,000.

The whole country paid the price for the last GOP reign. For political expediency you and your cronies overlooked, and some contributed a bunch to, an effort to derail the peaceful transfer of power. This has weakened the USA considerably, and brought turmoil and ill will to citizen interactions. All you do, Dr Barrasso, is malign the dems for your own and your cronies’ interest – chasing money, status and power. I say you and the current GOP are not trustworthy to look after this 250 year old experiment in democratic governing.

How long have you been writing fiction? What weakened american is leaving people to die in afghanistan, US and afghan citizens. what weakened america is killing our energy independence. What weakened american is baseless witch hunts like russian collusion and baseless impleachments. What weakened america is people like Swalwell literally sleeping with chinese, schiff a proven liar and the media being the Dems prostitute..Calling riots peaceful protest as buildings burn.. I do feel sorry for you.. I know your struggle is real. Accept it. Dems are finished in 22 and 24

Says the person who voted for the democrats path to a higher debt ceiling. Can the democrats also count on your vote for the build back better breadlines bill, john? Can they also count on your support for HR-1, a bill that would allow the federal govt. to override WY election laws? Sorry, john, but your concerns about Americans being hurt by bidens economic policies have no credibility.

This is the biggest fib since George and the cherry tree incident. Tax cuts for the rich and corporations from the last failed administration did more damage to “American families” than anything Biden comes up with. Stop lying…or is that possible?

Maybe nancy should be working on changes to the tax code instead of chasing after your orange menace before they lose the house? Just a thought.

Are u the one who is supposed to decide what is a fair wage? if you dont like the wage you are getting, get an education and improve your job..u people and your hands outs are a disgrace… 15 dollars to flip a burger? It might be a difficult task for u but not for most..not a skill

As a matter of fact I was offered more than one job by “a poor person” and was sure treated better than any time I worked for a “rich person”, especially in Wyoming.
