Inflation under the Biden Administration has resulted in American families losing over $6,000. The Bureau of Labor Statistics notes the Consumer Price Index is up 7.7% from October 2021. With interest rates causing families to lose another $1,300, Americans are “$7,400 poorer,” said EJ Antoni, Heritage Foundation researcher for regional economics in the Center for Data Analysis.
