Mountain region households are paying more than $500 per month, on average, due to inflation, according to a new report from the Joint Economic Committee.
"Inflation is costing Americans the most in Utah and the Mountain West. On average, American households are paying $385 more per month, but in some areas of the country, inflation is being felt even more acutely," ranking member Lee told Fox News Digital. "Families in Utah are facing costs upwards of $500 more per month due to the massive social spending agenda that President Biden doubled down on last night. Americans are hurting after a year of failed economic policies. Our country deserves better."
On average, monthly costs per household across the U.S. increased from $100 more in April 2021 to over $380 in January 2022, according to the report.
