Washington, D.C. – Washington Democrats can’t help themselves. They’re addicted to spending taxpayer money. And it has led to record high inflation, as we were reminded by last month’s horrendous numbers.
Even when much of the COVID-19 relief money had not yet been spent, Democrats kept passing more reckless spending bills. This dumped gasoline on an already overheated economy.
Bennet voted for all of it:
- Bennet voted for the $433 billion Inflation Reduction Act and touted its provisions on climate investments despite analyses showing it would cost 29,000 full-time jobs, raise taxes “significantly,” fund the IRS to go after middle-class Americans, reduce GDP, and could worsen inflation in the long-term while only having a “negligible” effect on inflation in the short-term.
- Bennet voted for President Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act, despite warnings that it would worsen inflation. Since then, inflation hit its highest level in 40 years.
- In March 2021, Bennet voted against an amendment to the American Rescue Plan that would limit funds to “necessary expenditures” during the public health emergency.
- In August 2021, Bennet voted against an amendment to create a point of order against any net increases to federal spending when inflation increased above three percent.
- Bennet repeatedly voted to allow the Biden administration to take on more debt, despite inflation concerns.
- So next time you look at your growing grocery bill, remember that it was brought to you by Joe Biden and Michael Bennet.
Statement from Chairman Rick Scott: “Michael Bennet is a tax and spend liberal who has no problem spending trillions of dollars we don’t have while hard-working Coloradans struggle to make ends meet. Families in Colorado – and all across our country – cannot spend beyond their means as Congress does. Joe O’Dea understands that and will fight to make life more affordable for families in his state.”
