From the moment President Joe Biden was sworn in, Washington Democrats have been on a non-stop spending spree to grow government and force their political agenda on Americans.

In our conversations it was immediately clear that Washington Democrats failed in their attempt to deceive Americans into believing their legislation is the solution to the worst inflation crisis in 40 years Families have watched as the price of everyday goods – from groceries to gas – has risen at historic rates. At the same time when Americans are struggling to put food on their table, clothes on their backs, and gasoline in their cars, Washington Democrats wasted billions of taxpayer dollars on things that have nothing to do with lowering energy costs, reducing inflation, and getting our economy back on track.

The bottom line is that Washington Democrats used the inflation crisis as an opportunity to get their radical environmentalist agenda through Congress.
