Washington, D.C. – The gentleman from Iowa is correct:
Democrats’ record spending is directly tied to inflation…and the situation is about to get worse. Inflation is at a 40-year high, gas prices are through the roof, and the Biden Administration is blaming the press and cranking up the spin cycle. They have been working overtime to convince the American people that spending an additional $2 trillion in their Build Back Broke bill won’t impact inflation, but they’re wrong.
In short, deficit spending is bad, and it’s worse when you do it while inflation is skyrocketing. Democrats claim their Build Back Broke plan will improve the lives of Americans. Instead, it will fan the flames of an inflation crisis that’s hurting hard-working American families.
Statement from NRSC Spokesman T.W. Arrighi: “Inflation is out of control, Congress is making it worse, and the only people who haven’t figured that out work in the White House. Democrats are causing prices on everyday goods, like gas and groceries, to skyrocket, and it’s hitting American families where it hurts. It’s not the media’s fault, it’s not transitory and it’s not a high-class problem. It’s a real-world problem for hard-working American families and now it’s a political problem for Democrats, whose entire agenda is built on inflation-inducing government spending.”
