The Republican Study Committee is urging the GOP to tie inflation concerns to Biden s spending, Axios reports.
Their memo uses year-over-year comparisons to show inflation rapidly accelerating amid reopening.
The problem is May 2020 was lockdown, when prices sat well below their previous highs.
Republicans are doubling down on their claims that President Joe Biden s spending risks an inflation crisis.

House Republicans are set to ramp up concerns over inflation and connect soaring prices to the Biden administration s spending efforts. In a memo first reported by Axios Alayna Treene, Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana urged fellow party members to tell voters that inflation is Democrats hidden tax on the Middle Class and that additional spending would only exacerbate the problem.
