Estes Reacts to New 40-year High Inflation | 2022-07-13 | 2022 | 2022-07 | Republican | House | KS | Ron Estes | E000298 | estes.house.gov | estes | https://estes.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON — Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kansas) released the following statement on today's Consumer Price Index. "Inflation is at a devastating new 40-year high – crushing our economy and causing long-term damage to families and small businesses," said Rep. Estes. "While year-over-year inflation at 9.1% is bad, it's really even worse since Biden took office. Under total Democrat control in Washington, rising prices are actually up 12.6% and still accelerating. The Biden agenda has been a disaster for Kansas families and is not what we need for a strong America." Today the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released its June Consumer Price Index reporting consumer prices are 9.1% higher than the previous year, and showing real wages have dropped nearly 4.8% since President Biden took office. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |
