After a year of largely ignoring America's economic crisis, House Democrats invited senior Biden White House officials to come to the Capitol today to brief their Members at a special caucus on how "to talk about economic messaging," and it was a DISASTER.
Politico's Sarah Ferris reported that the meeting was not what House Democrats were hoping for and that the senior Biden officials provided "no new strategy or message," adding the officials were delayed getting there and had very little time for questions.
MAKE NO MISTAKE: If House Democrats were serious about combating America's economic crisis, they would have invited House Republicans to speak to them, not the Biden White House officials who called inflation “temporary” and a “high-class problem.” Unlike the Biden administration and House Democrats, House Republicans have real solutions to fix America's economic crisis, which has been caused by Biden and House Democrats' Far-Left agenda and out-of-control government spending.
We all know we can’t just make inflation go away -- but make no mistake, continuing this Administration’s policies will make Americans’ suffering worse.
Below are steps we can take that could help reduce the current skyrocketing Biden-flation.
SOLUTION #1: Now that the emergency is over, the emergency spending should end. End Democrats’ wasteful COVID slush funds that discouraged work, paid for golf course maintenance, bailed out local governments, and repurpose hundreds of billions of that money towards reducing the deficit and killing inflation.
SOLUTION #2: Strengthen Americans’ wallets by taking tax increases off the Washington agenda, instead pursuing permanent tax relief for individuals and families, and supercharging the economy by making it easier for companies to invest in the American economy.
SOLUTION #3: There’s no reason Americans should be paying so much at the pump. Unleash American energy production, so it’s not only more affordable but also so we can export it around the world.
SOLUTION #4: Cut the unnecessary red tape and review regulations for the impact they have on prices – struggling families deserve to know how much Washington is raising their bills.
SOLUTION #5: Get Americans working again. End Democrats’ special subsidies that give people health care that’s as good as what they would get at work. And seniors shouldn’t be punished for continuing to work if they want to. Provide greater flexibility, so seniors don’t stay out of the workforce because additional earnings reduce their Social Security benefits.
