Whether it’s at the gas station or the grocery store, American families are seeing prices skyrocket everywhere they go – and there’s no end in sight, warns Ways and Means Republican Rep. Drew Ferguson (R-GA).

 

In an op-ed for The Hill, Rep. Ferguson wrote:

 

“Inflation is coming at Americans like a freight train, and it won’t stop unless we pump the brakes on President Biden’s liberal agenda.”

  • Biden’s unemployment programs is rampant with fraud – as much as than $400 billion may already have been stolen – and are keeping people from getting back to work despite the more than 9.3 million job openings on the market
