U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) spoke on the Senate floor about President Biden’s failed policies and the harm Bidenomics has caused Nebraskans.

“This inflation is a tax on every American’s standard of living. President Biden said that Bidenomics is ‘just another way to say the American Dream,’” said Senator Ricketts. “And yet the numbers show the American Dream is now more out of reach than any time in recent history. Maybe that’s why President Biden has stopped saying Bidenonmics.”

“Americans know that bringing the cost of living down and getting our country [back on track] means that Washington must reverse course,” Ricketts continued. “We need to reject the bloated omnibus bills and spend less. Plain and simple. We need to stop the political regulations and tax increases that are stifling innovation and growth in our country. We need to unleash American energy production and lower energy prices. And we need to secure the border. In the coming weeks, this body will have the opportunity to do all of these things. I stand here ready to work with anyone to get these important priorities accomplished for the people of Nebraska.”
