Democrats wanted one-party control of Washington. They got it. And they used that power to create an economic nightmare for families. Nearly $3 trillion of party-line waste. 13.2% inflation and counting since 2021. A disaster for workers, families, and fixed-income households.

Liberal regulations and red tape make it way too hard to build things, create jobs, and unleash American energy. That’s why Republicans lead on this issue. Democrats’ phony fig leaf bill is not real "permitting reform" at all. It would actually make the problem even worse.

Senate Democrats just blocked our bill that would have given railway workers a big raise and prevented a crippling strike and supply chain crisis. If a strike occurs and paralyzes food, fertilizer, and energy shipments nationwide, it will be because Democrats blocked this bill.

Republicans are heading to the floor with a bill to prevent a railway strike that would create total chaos. It would give workers the package that most of the unions have already approved. President Biden should have already resolved this himself. Democrats must let this pass.

Democrats robbed Americans last year by spending our economy into record inflation. This year, their solution is to do it a second time. The partisan bill President Biden signed into law today means higher taxes, higher energy bills, and aggressive IRS audits.

There is no working family in America whose top priorities are doubling the size of the IRS and giving rich people money to buy $80,000 electric cars. Americans want Washington to address inflation, crime, and the border — not another reckless liberal taxing and spending spree.

Even the Democrats’ favorite estimate says their so-called inflation bill will take nine years to cut the same amount of inflation that our country added every week in June. Nine years of huge tax hikes and big spending to remove literally one week's worth of inflation. A joke.

You’d think the worst inflation in 40 years would be enough to convince Democrats to change course. Instead, the same people who spent us into inflation want to tax us into recession. Massive new tax hikes at a time when families are struggling just to stand still financially.
