Battling Bidenomics: Get the latest on our fight against bad economics.


House of Bidenomics: The Northeastern and Southerners who voted for inflation

July 24, 2024

Since 2021, inflation has raged like wildfire across the country. Soaring prices consume the checkbooks and savings of millions of Americans.

Why did this happen? Reckless government spending. Washington pumped billions of dollars into the economy, which made your money worth less and your bills go up.

At first, Washington spent trillions during the COVID-19 pandemic; then President Joe Biden added fuel to the fire by authorizing $6 trillion in extra spending thanks in great part to bills like the Inflation Reduction Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the American Rescue Act, and the CHIPS Act.

However, Biden is not the only out-of-touch Washington politician responsible for inflation. He needed Congress’ support to turn Bidenomics from a bad idea into painful reality. We already introduced the Bidenomics Five who influenced these laws in the Senate; now, we’ll talk about those who did the same in the House of Representatives.

Pro-Bidenomics lawmakers from the Northeast, Midwest, and West are making your life more expensive with their votes.

Some voted for the four Bidenomics bills; others opposed pro-freedom legislation like the Lower Energy Costs Act, and Congressional Review Act to overturn Bidenomics policies like the student loan bailout or EPA power grabs.

These lawmakers turned the House of Representatives into the House of Bidenomics, and Americans pay the price daily.

Here are the northeastern Representatives who voted for Bidenomics:

Rep. Jahana Hayes, from Connecticut

Jahana Hayes staunchly supports the policies that left the American economy in shambles. Thanks to Hayes’s votes for Bidenomics, residents of Connecticut now pay:

  • $7,414 more on housing since January 2021
  • $5,414 more on energy since January 2021
  • $10,741 more on transportation since January 2021

For Hayes, Bidenomics comes first, and her constituents come second​.
