Research

Businesses, Families, And Workers Are Being Crushed By Biden’s Policies


OHIO IS RECOVERING IN SPITE OF BIDEN’S POLICIES, NOT BECAUSE OF THEM

  • Today, Biden is visiting Cleveland and Lorain, Ohio.
  • Far from helping Buckeye workers and businesses, Biden has slammed them with record inflation and a disastrous supply chain crisis.
  • All success for Ohio’s recovering economy is thanks to Republican leadership in the state, not Biden. 
  • For months, Biden and Democrats supported paying Americans not to work, but Ohio’s Republican Governor Mike DeWine moved to end Biden’s “enhanced” unemployment benefits early – a move that helped get workers back on the job and businesses rehiring.

OHIOANS ARE FACING RISING PRICES UNDER BIDEN

  • Nationally, consumer prices have risen by 7.5 percent compared to last year – marking the largest annual increase in 40 years.
    • Ohio has seen costs rise faster than the national average, with consumer prices rising by 7.9 percent throughout the Midwest since last year.  
  • Ohio gas prices continue to rise, with analysts warning the cost could go above $4 per gallon.
    • Ohioans are already being crushed by Biden’s anti-American energy agenda, costing the average family a total of $1,000 last year according to the Heartland Institute.
  • Prices are rising across the board, “from the food on your shelves to the wood in your floors.”
    • In Ohio, the average home price increased 12.3 percent in 2021, while a one-bedroom apartment shot up 28.6 percent.
    • National Association of Homebuilders Chief Economist Robert Dietz said building costs are up 21 percent compared to last year, forecasting that home prices will rise another 5 percent in 2022.
  • The supply chain crisis is edging up costs for basic materials like aluminum used in cars, plumbing, and window frames.  

OHIOAN SHOPPERS AND BUSINESSES ARE SLAMMED

  • Ohioans are facing higher prices at the store thanks to Bidenflation.
    • Shopper Nina Hoffmayer: “I always get black beans for my lunches and they were 30 cents more than usual for a can.”
    • Shopper Marquitta Vassar: “I try to manage, and I live alone so my grocery bill isn't as high as others, but it does still affect me…”
  • Ohio small businesses are suffering from higher prices and the supply chain crisis as well.
    • In North Olmstead, Cocky’s Bagels co-owner Keene Cockburn said inflation “has spiked all of our prices, especially our cream cheese, our chicken. I know we’re paying pretty much more all around the board for everything,”
    • In Pepper Pike, Locksmith Hair Studio manicurist Donna Segulin reported that her salon is struggling from Biden’s supply chain crisis, saying “A lot of our supplies we can't get …  And they've also been more expensive…”
    • In Medina, McJak Candy owner Larry Johns said that “In my 21 years at McJak, we have never experienced such across-the-board inflation on almost everything we buy.”

OHIOANS SEE THROUGH BIDEN’S PANDERING 

  • Ohioans see Biden for what he is – a phony politician.
  • While Biden has attempted to appeal to Ohioans by invoking the Buckeye State’s name, he has repeatedly gotten it wrong. 
  • Biden has even told a fake and bizarre story about a trip he took to Ohio University in the 1960s which ended in arrest after attempting to sneak into an all-girls dormitory.
