President Biden and Democrats are investing in Wisconsin communities and making our state stronger thanks to funding Congressmen Bryan Steil, Tom Tiffany, and other Republicans opposed
Thursday, January 25, 2024
MADISON, Wis. – Opportunity Wisconsin Program Director Meghan Roh released the following statement ahead of President Joe Biden’s visit to Superior later today:
“As Wisconsinites welcome President Biden back to the state today, they continue to see the success of policies that put working families first and make smart investments that strengthen our communities. From rebuilding bridges and roads to help grow our economy, to ensuring families and seniors are able to keep more money in their pockets thanks to lower health care and prescription drug costs, we’re better off today because of programs like the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
“Wisconsinites remember that Reps. Bryan Steil, Tom Tiffany, and the rest of the state’s Republican delegation at the time voted against vital infrastructure funding that is essential to projects like the Blatnik Bridge replacement, connecting hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites with high-speed internet, and more. They’re also going to continue to demand that Republicans, including Congressman Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden, reverse their opposition to the Inflation Reduction Act and reject attempts to repeal successful provisions, including the law’s cap on insulin and out-of-pocket prescription drug costs.”
President Biden’s visit to Wisconsin comes as recent surveys show Americans are more confident in the nation’s economy and relief from rising costs:
WALL STREET JOURNAL: “Americans Are Suddenly Upbeat About Economy. Sentiment Just Logged Its Biggest Jump in Decades.”
CNN: “Americans are feeling much better about the economy thanks to slowing inflation”
THE HILL: “Consumer sentiment hits highest level since 2021”
AXIOS: “America's economic mood is improving fast, survey shows”
