Senator Bob Casey has made a living off you, the taxpayer. Now that he approaches another re-election this November, we’re seeing him emerge for the first time in many years. He’s had the advantage of his family’s name to allow him to quietly pour trillions of taxpayer dollars into partisan pet projects while largely going unnoticed. However, it’s time that Pennsylvanians move away from an outdated family brand and start focusing on rebuilding our economy that has been broken due to the Casey’s spending spree.
Casey loves Bidenomics. Don’t let his current rhetoric fool you. The Senator has voted 98.5% of the time with the Biden/Harris administration. Despite crippling inflation, rising gas prices, and energy rates soaring—Senator Casey is doubling down and choosing partisan pet projects and special interests over you, the taxpayer.
Bidenomics is BADenomics. You know this to be true, because you experience this every day. Since President Biden and Vice President Harris took office, they’ve spent nearly $6 trillion of your hard-earned resources—and Bob Casey voted to spend every penny of it.
This administration’s lack of understanding of basic economic policies has resulted in you spending more for your day-to-day goods and getting less for your money. According to the Joint Economic Committee, CPI data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that Pennsylvanians pay an average of $968 more per month—compared to January of 2021—to purchase the same amount of goods. What’s changed since this time? President Biden and VP Harris took office, and Senator Casey voted in line with their $5.5 million spending spree.
As Pennsylvanians, we should not have to choose between filling up a tank of gas or putting food on the table but Bob Casey, high atop his ivory tower, has shown no sincere interest in the people he represents or the challenge of feeding your family.
Let’s fact check everything our esteemed Senator has claimed.
Myth: Corporate greed is driving up the cost of everyday life.
Fact: Senator Bob Casey has endorsed and spent nearly $6 trillion of your hard-earned money and manipulated data points to shift blame for record-high inflation. Read AFP’s researcher Kurt Couchman’s Bidenflation Blame Game Report to see the facts and figures.
Myth: Senator Casey’s own website claims he’s championing economic policies that lower costs for families.
Fact: Bob Casey voted for the “Inflation Reduction Act” of 2022, which since its implementation, has yet to reduce inflation. Instead, it racked up trillions in new DC spending.
Myth: The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is making Pennsylvania stronger and “more resilient”.
Fact: The Infrastructure bill, which carries a price tag of $1.2 trillion, allocated only a fraction of the entire spending bill to traditional “infrastructure”, such as roads and bridges. The legislation, by and large, carved out resources to special interests and partisan pet projects.
