WASHINGTON – Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. (R-Ind.-08) released the following statement after a report came out that U.S. consumer prices reached 6.2% in October, the highest inflation rate America has seen in more than 30 years. 

“Inflation rose at a rate not seen in the US in 30 years last month, leaving Hoosiers with costs that are over 6.2% higher than this time last year. This news comes just weeks before Hoosiers gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, which is already expected to be the most expensive in the history of the holiday,” said Congressman Bucshon. “Congress should be working together to address this, rather than furthering the problem by spending trillions of dollars on completely partisan priorities. If Speaker Pelosi, Congressional Democrats, and President Biden continue to shell out trillions of dollars in government spending like they are planning, we will all continue to pay the price.”
