Report – Americans Lost over $4K in Annual Income Thanks to President Biden: ‘Financial Catastrophe’Amy Furr 24 Sep 2022

Heritage experts calculated this shocking number based on different sets of data.

Further, as the Federal Reserve implements tighter monetary policy to reduce inflation, interest rates are rising. Higher rates have in turn increased borrowing costs on mortgages, vehicle loans, credit cards, and more. The higher interest rates and borrowing costs have effectively reduced the average American’s purchasing power another $1,200 on an annualized basis.
