Today, Senator Rick Scott released an update on his efforts to address the United States' debt crisis and inflation concerns under the Biden-Harris administration. Reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate that inflation indicators, including the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI), rose further in December, affecting American families and small businesses. Since President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office, CPI and PPI inflation has increased by 20.7%.

Senator Rick Scott stated, "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 his election to the U.S. Senate, Senator Scott has consistently called for action to address America's debt crisis and mitigate inflation's negative impacts.
