Nearly 40% of Americans are worried about being able to pay all of their bills on time, a higher percentage than during the Great Recession of 2008-09, according to a new survey.
A CNN poll revealed that 39% of Americans are concerned about consistently paying their bills, a 33% increase from the peak of Biden-flation and exceeding the 37% during the 2008 crisis, when unemployment was nearly 10%, the outlet reported, citing the polling results.
Inflation during the Biden-Harris administration has reached new heights in the modern era, and while it has eased somewhat in recent months, it remains stubbornly high, raising the costs of food, gasoline, housing, and other basic amenities like utilities. CNN added that “consumers are still trying to catch up to the price spikes of the last few years.”

It ended when Jean-Pierre, wearing an oversized blazer with a bright purple blouse, slammed her briefing binder shut and left the podium, ending the briefing after 49 minutes of questions.
