STATEMENT ON LOWERING COSTS FROM BUILDING BACK TOGETHER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DANIELLE MELFI

“Today’s numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics clearly show that pandemic-induced price increases are slowing, and underline expert analysis that the uptick in prices of some goods is transitory as the economy recovers from a pandemic that has devastated American families. President Biden’s policies have jump-started the economy, fueling an unprecedented recovery while creating more than 4 million jobs, and his leadership has helped get shots in the arms of millions of Americans, delivered relief to families, and gotten American workers back on the job.”

“While there remains a long road ahead to building our country back better, and a pressing need to continue the fight against COVID-19, our focus remains on passing the President’s Build Back Better agenda to ensure a robust economic recovery for all of America’s families. This is how in the long-term we will raise wages and lower the costs American families are worried about — by passing legislation that will tackle everything from lowering prescription drug prices and child care costs, to increasing competition across the economy, and more.”
