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.
