Garbage costs 18.5% more under Biden-Harris, according to government statistics

Basic household costs have soared across the United States since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris first took office in 2021. From electricity to rent and groceries, overall prices are now up by 20.5% nationally.

Even the cost of garbage collection and disposal has spiked, reaching a year-over-year increase of 5.8% in June of last year — amounting to be 18.5% more expensive than when Biden-Harris took office.

Breitbart News first reported the data one day after after President Joe Biden referred to Republican nominee Donald Trump’s supporters as “garbage.”

According to the Alabama Department of Revenue, the cost of garbage disposal in the state varies by location and service type. But, Alabama has been no exception to the rising inflation.

Lawmakers are also raising the alarm with hard numbers in recent months. U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) recently said that the hardship Americans are facing as a result of the “disastrous agenda” imposed by the Biden-Harris Administration.

Senator Tommy Tuberville called the rise in inflation and a drop in real wages the Biden-Harris Administration’s “economic policies in action.”

Republican candidate for Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District, Caroleene Dobson, said that families in the state are paying a thousand dollars more each month for basic living costs.
