WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott released a weekly update on his actions to address America’s debt crisis and rising inflation under the Biden-Harris administration. As Floridians are struggling to make ends meet, reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that the federal government’s key inflation indicators, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI), rose even more in December putting strain on the budgets of American families and small businesses. Since President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office, CPI and PPI inflation has risen 20.7%. Earlier this week, following the CPI report being released, Senator Scott released the following statement.

Senator Rick Scott said, “The Biden-Harris administration will be remembered forever by families for 20+ percent inflation and economic failures that wreaked havoc on folks in every state, forcing families to go without and seniors out of retirement. January 20th can’t come soon enough. Americans clearly want change in Washington to turn our economy around and end the inflation nightmare this administration has created. I look forward to working with President Trump, DOGE and my colleagues to stop Democrats' wasteful spending and reckless policies, so we can get our economy back on track, drive down prices for families and make America great again."

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 and HERE for Senator Scott’s Quarterly Economic Snapshot.
