WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) issued the following statement after the consumer price index showed “stubbornly high” inflation:
“Rising costs of living continue to hurt Nebraskans. Despite this, President Biden is tripling down on his failed policies. Just last week, he proposed raising taxes and even more needless spending. The trillions of dollars he’s blown through these past two years caused this never-ending inflation. Hard-working Americans are struggling. Necessities are costing hundreds of extra dollars a month. We cannot keep adding fuel to this already raging fire.”
