KATIE BRITT: His reckless spending dug our economy into a hole and sent the cost of living through the roof. We have the worst inflation in 40 years and the highest credit card debt in our nation's history. Let that sink in.

Hardworking families are struggling to make ends meet today. And with soaring mortgage rates and sky high child care costs, they're also struggling how to plan for tomorrow. The American people are scraping by while President Biden proudly proclaims that Bidenomics is working. Goodness y'all bless his heart. We know better.

I'll never forget stopping at a gas station in Chilton County one evening. The gentleman working the counter told me that after retiring, he had to pick up a job in his 70s so that he didn't have to choose between going hungry or going without his medication. He said, I did everything right, I did everything I was told to do, I worked hard, I saved, I was responsible.

He's not alone. I hear similar concerns from fellow parents, whether I am walking with my friends or whether I'm at my kid's games. But let's be honest, it's been a minute since Joe Biden pumped gas, ran a carpool, or even pushed a grocery cart. Meanwhile, the rest of us see our dollar, and we know it doesn't go as far. We see it every day.
