The economic policies of the Biden administration have led to a rising cost of living that Americans are finding hard to keep up with. A report from the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee indicates that an additional $11,434 to $14,000 is needed by American families to maintain their standard of living compared to January 2021. With inflation settling at 3 percent, and no sign of it decreasing, the situation is causing many Americans to seek second jobs and other forms of employment, contradicting the administration’s claims of job creation.
