Despite recent news that inflation is declining GOP congressman Adrian Smith continues to make the case that "Americans are still struggling."  

And Nebraska's longest serving member on Capitol Hill says wages have declined nearly 4 percent making the economy under the Biden Administration all that worse.

A month ago, inflation was running 6 percent, now it's 5 percent, both down from 8.5 percent a year ago.

But Smith says when combined with that drop in wages 43 percent of business owners report having a hard time filling jobs.
