ICYMI: President Biden and Congressional Democrats are Tackling Inflation, Lowering Costs, and Delivering Results for Working Families

President Biden promise promised to tackle inflation, address the climate crisis, and reduce costs for the American people. In the past week, President Biden and Congressional Democrats have taken historic and decisive actions to do just that. Congress sent to the President's desk the CHIPS and Science Act to lower costs on everything from cars to dishwashers and create more good paying jobs across the country. And Congressional Democrats reached an agreement on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 to lower prescription drug and energy costs, invest in energy security and clean energy jobs, require profitable companies to pay their fair share, and reduce inflationary pressure on the economy.
