Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are on recess right now, but reaction to President Joe Biden's Bidenomics plan grew swift criticism from Republicans despite that. Many disagree with the president's theory that the economy grows from the middle out, and the bottom up and not from the top down. President Biden has struggled to sell his economic agenda to the public. While he and his advisors believe the worst effects of inflation are behind us, most Americans are still struggling, living pay check to pay check with high food, gas and energy prices and believe the economy is in bad shape. Republicans say the president is out of touch. Senator Bill Cassidy says, "They are paying more for their electricity, they are paying more for their property and casualty insurance. They are paying more for food as you mentioned, Biden inflation has been crushing the middle class. This administration and main stream media does not get it." The Louisiana Senator says Americans are seeing the effects of Democratic overspending and a push for green energy. The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows grocery prices have increased 20%. Energy prices have shot up 36% and gasoline prices have risen 51%. Biden has blamed the high costs on the COVID pandemic and the war in Ukraine and Democratic leadership stands by his efforts.
