Biden puts the squeeze on small businesses

Rapid Response

Joe Biden and the Democrats are putting small businesses between a rock and a hard place.

The rock: Small businesses are struggling to compete for workers as Biden pays people not to work. Almost half of small business owners are having “real problems” finding workers amid labor shortages at the “highest levels” business experts have ever seen.

The result: Many mom-and-pop shops can’t even open.

 

The hard place: Small businesses are having to pay more to stock their shelves as they, like consumers, are paying Biden’s hidden tax of rising prices. Producer prices increased 6.6% in May on a 12-month basis, the largest spike ON RECORD.

The result: Many businesses are being forced to pay more to operate at the same time they can’t find the staff to actually open.

Yet Biden only wants to make things worse. His proposed $6 trillion budget would SHRINK the economy, LOWER workers’ wages, and KILL 165,000 jobs. Further, even liberal economists warn his reckless spending will send prices skyrocketing even more.

Biden is squandering the recovery he inherited, and small businesses are paying the price.
