Casey admits he won’t do anything to cut the inflation he created

PHILADELPHIA, PA. — The Dave McCormick for Senate campaign released a new digital ad this week calling out Bob Casey’s recent confession that it’s “impossible” to “bring these prices down.” Casey and Joe Biden told voters a very different story when they rammed their pricey “Inflation Reduction Act” through Congress.

“Bob Casey and Joe Biden promised voters their over $1 trillion spending package would lower prices. Their plan backfired. Now Casey is dismissing his culpability by shrugging his shoulders and telling Pennsylvanians he can’t do anything to reduce the inflation he created. Shameful,” said Elizabeth Gregory, McCormick for Senate communications director.

Casey: It lowers costs for families. 

Biden: It’s going to reduce the cost of everything. 

Casey: It will in fact lower the cost of energy.
