Congressman John Moolenaar made the following statement after the Commerce Department announced the U.S. economy shrunk 1.5% in the first quarter of 2022:
"President Biden’s policies are shrinking the economy and leaving Michigan families behind. He came into office and canceled oil and gas projects, then he spent $2 trillion on an 'American Rescue Plan' that has hurt families more than it has helped. He paid people extra money not to work, forced mandates on truck drivers carrying essential goods, and was slow to respond as the supply chain problems piled up. President Biden threw away the recovery started by the Trump Administration and to this day there are still fewer jobs than there were in 2019. Biden needs to reverse course, expedite approval of American oil and gas development, and let the economy grow.”
