Senator Rick Scott released his weekly update Friday on efforts to tackle the nation’s debt crisis and combat rising inflation under the Biden-Harris administration. The report comes as recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed increases in both the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) for December, further straining American households and small businesses.

According to the latest statistics, inflation has surged 20.7% since President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office, a figure that Scott argues has caused widespread financial hardship.

The Florida senator pointed to what he called the administration’s “economic failures” and emphasized the urgency of a leadership transition with President-elect Donald Trump set to take office on January 20.

“The Biden-Harris administration will be remembered forever by families for 20+ percent inflation and economic failures that wreaked havoc on folks in every state, forcing families to go without and seniors out of retirement,” said Scott in a statement last week following the release of the CPI report. “January 20th can’t come soon enough. Americans clearly want change in Washington to turn our economy around and end the inflation nightmare this administration has created.”

Scott pledged to collaborate with President-elect Trump and the Republican-led Congress to curb what he called “wasteful spending and reckless policies” implemented by the Democratic administration. His proposed initiatives aim to lower prices for American families and steer the economy back on track.

Since his election to the Senate, Scott has consistently called for decisive action to address the growing national debt and the negative effects of inflation. He has pushed for conservative fiscal policies, warning that failure to rein in spending could have long-term consequences for economic stability.

Scott reiterated his commitment to ensuring a “pro-growth, pro-family” economic strategy that prioritizes affordability and job creation.
