Nashville, TN – U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) released the following video about the impact of inflation and rising prices on Tennesseans. Senator Blackburn spoke with a small business owner in East Tennessee about how rising costs have made it harder to afford materials, keep costs low for customers, and hire new employees.
In the video, the small business owner shares that the same materials she bought for $18.84 per thousand in 2018 cost $32.91 per thousand in 2024, which is nearly a 75% cost increase.
“President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have continued to downplay the devastating impact of inflation, but hardworking Americans are feeling that impact each and every day whether it’s at the gas pump or the grocery store. What Tennesseans want to see is action to get this inflation under control,” said Senator Blackburn.
