The Economy is Not All “Puppies and Rainbows”

Hakeem Jeffries believes the American economy is all “puppies and rainbows.” During his weekly press conference, Jeffries ignored record inflation and sky-high gas prices that have driven Americans’ confidence in the economy into the toilet. Instead, he tried to claim that the American Rescue Plan has led to a “tremendous economic turnaround.”

Jeffries’ must be delusional. Economists, including former Obama economic advisor Steven Rattner, have called the American Rescue Plan the “original sin” that was a “serious error” that “set the stage for inflation.” 

He goes on to tout that wages are up, but he conveniently forgot to mention:

• Wages aren’t keeping up with inflation, meaning real wages are down.
• Record setting inflation is causing a $5,200 inflation tax on families.
• Record-high gas prices.

America Rising PAC Spokesperson, Kristen Bennett: “Hakeem Jeffries’ delusional attempt to tout the Democrats’ economic record dismisses the hardships Americans are facing as a result of Democrats’ out of control spending.”
