Last week, as Americans combat a recession and 40-year high inflation, Democrats doubled down on their failed policies — indisputably wreaking more havoc on Biden’s broken economy by passing their $740 billion tax and spend bill. It’s unconscionable that Democrats are burning through billions on liberal projects, contributing to our skyrocketing national debt, and burdening Americans with tax hikes amidst numerous economic crises. Additionally, the Democrats’ irresponsible legislation militarizes the Internal Revenue Service with an auditing army of 87,000 new agents to target middle-class Americans and small businesses.
Time and time again, Democrats in Washington prove their priorities lie with Big Government Socialism — not the American people. I totally reject the radical Green New Deal initiatives, crushing tax hikes, and partisan wasteful spending that consume Democrats’ Build Back Broke bill, and I fiercely condemn President Biden, Speaker Pelosi, and Senate Leader Schumer for selfishly plunging our economy into deeper turmoil at the expense of the American people. In addition to voting against this terrible legislation on behalf of the Ninth, I railed on the Democrats’ reconciliation bill during debate on the House floor.
