WASHINGTON – Kansas U.S. Senator Jerry Moran was clear in a floor speech Thursday morning that the Biden Administration's fiscal policy is hitting Kansans in the wallet.
"An extra $17 dollars at the gas pump or $68 on an electricity bill and an extra 50 cents here and there quickly adds up for middle income or low income families,” said Sen. Moran. “These dollars add up to tough decisions like… will we be able to make our mortgage payment this month? Do we forgo a Thanksgiving meal this year so we can keep the heat on? And can we afford to make that drive across the country to go see the grandparents for the holidays?”
United States Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen said Sunday she expects higher inflation to continue into 2022.
