Issues Weekly Update on Biden’s Inflation Crisis

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott released the following statement slamming the Washington establishment and the president’s failed “Bidenomics” agenda for driving the nation’s debt to more than $33 TRILLION. Senator Scott is also releasing his weekly update on his actions to address America’s debt crisis and rising inflation, which is up more than 17% since Biden took office, thanks to his administration’s reckless tax-and-spend agenda.

Senator Rick Scott said, “This week, the federal debt hit another disgusting record as it ballooned past $33 TRILLION – growing by $1 TRILLION in just the past 3 months. Washington’s reaction to this news was equally bad: total ignorance as the establishment pushes forward yet another massive spending bill. While failed politicians in Washington can’t be bothered to care about the debt, Floridians are furious. Floridians are seeing every day at the gas pump, grocery store and their local restaurants that this president’s reckless ‘Bidenomics’ tax-and-spend agenda is doubling down on a status quo that is already fueling raging inflation, driving massive rate hikes and pushing the American Dream totally out of reach. Since 2019, America’s population is up 1.8% but the federal budget has exploded by 55%. If we don’t stop Washington’s out-of-control spending, the days of working hard being enough to live your dreams will soon be gone. I don’t accept that and I’ll be fighting like hell to make sure that any spending bills passed in Congress cut the reckless waste and start paying down our unsustainable federal debt.”

Since being elected to the U.S. Senate, Senator Scott has repeatedly urged action to address America’s debt crisis and the harmful effects of inflation. Click HERE for a comprehensive list of his statements and actions on this urgent issue.
