WASHINGTON, D.C.--Congressman John Rose took to the House Floor again this week to call out the factors fueling the ongoing inflation crisis, namely deficit spending.
The full speech, as prepared for delivery, is below:
Madam Speaker, Monday of last week was liberals’ favorite holiday: Tax Day—which usually serves as an annual reminder of just how big the government has gotten.
However, instead of paying taxes on only one day of the year, Americans are being forced to pay an invisible tax every day this year—inflation, which is a constant reminder of the costs of big government and big deficit spending.
Make no mistake, President Biden’s and Congressional Democrats’ willingness to borrow trillions of dollars to pay for ever-growing, wasteful government programs has caused record-high inflation. Prices at the pump and at the grocery store were already skyrocketing well before Vladimir Putin’s evil invasion of Ukraine.
Unfortunately, the Biden Administration wants to double down on these disastrous, inflation-inducing spending bills. His budget proposal calls for shelling out $73 trillion over the next ten years and would only add to the pain we all feel when we reach for our pocketbooks.
Tennesseans can’t afford another year of one-party, Democratic control of government.
