With inflation running rampant, we need real solutions to rein in out-of-control spending. We cannot spend our way to prosperity.
Our Responsible Budget Target Act will deliver balanced budgets and decrease wasteful government spending.

President Biden and House Democrats’ overindulgent spending will add $4.8 trillion to the deficit over the next decade, according to the nonpartisan @BudgetHawks.
Their inflationary spending has been anything but fiscally responsible.

As our nation battles a mental health crisis, we need to do all we can to remove arbitrary barriers to care.

Our Responsible Budget Targets Act offers practical solutions to balance our nation’s budget without causing major disruptions to government services.
Thank you to @AFPhq for your support of this important legislation.

.@SecYellen, in THIS economy prioritizing climate change policies isn’t going to help the 1/5 Americans facing food insecurity because of rampant inflation, or the millions of Americans who might not be able to heat their homes this winter. Out of touch.

The President likes to talk about breathing room, but his reckless spending has put American’s wallets in a chokehold.

Disappointed to see that this incomplete response from Treasury does not consider Americans’ constitutional right to privacy while sanctioning of neutral, open-source, decentralized privacy software. home.treasury.gov/policy-iss…
I sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Yellen regarding the unprecedented sanctioning of Tornado Cash. The growing adoption of decentralized technology will certainly raise new challenges for OFAC. Nonetheless, technology is neutral and the expectation of privacy is normal.⬇️

Food prices spiked 11.4% -- the largest one-year increase since May 1979.
As Democrats celebrate their inflationary policies, @HouseGOP are ready and committed to cutting wasteful spending and restoring fiscal sanity.
Exactly four weeks ago, I signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law.
So today, we're celebrating.
Tune in at 3 PM ET as I deliver remarks and welcome the leaders and advocates who made it happen to the People's House.

Recently, I joined my colleague @RepAndyBiggsAZ in sending a letter to Secretary of the Interior Debra Haaland asking for the Biden Administration’s plan to lower costs on the food, fuel, and fertilizer our agriculture community needs to succeed.

Our farmers are fighting to keep up with rising costs that have hammered the agriculture industry.
As Americans struggle to put food on the table, we need a real plan to reduce costs for American farmers.

This administration has signed away America’s long-term economic and national security to mask their own policy failures.
It’s time to right the ship: we must rein in spending and bring back American energy.

Last week, ahead of the August inflation report, President Biden dumped 8.4 million barrels from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve into the oil market.

In response to our letter, the FCC has revised the proposed fee increase for our nation’s broadcasters from 13% to 7-8% on average.
I appreciate the bipartisan support from over 90 of my colleagues in our effort to protect access to local news sources.
Our broadcasters provide an essential and free service to the public.
As Chair of the Broadcasters Caucus, I led a bipartisan letter with 93 of my colleagues to FCC Chair Rosenworcel to understand why the FCC wants to significantly increase broadcasters’ regulatory fees.

Recently, I joined 93 of my Republican colleagues demanding Speaker Pelosi take action and hold the President accountable for his $500 billion student debt handout.

Even Speaker Pelosi knows that President Biden does not have the power to unilaterally “cancel” student debt.

Businesses have taken drastic steps to keep their employees and customers safe, yet it hasn’t been enough to deter criminals.
We need common-sense solutions to attack this problem head-on, starting with supporting our law enforcement officers.
Violent crime is raging across the country.
Let’s be very clear: Democrats have normalized this lawlessness and demonized law enforcement.

The crime wave sweeping through Minneapolis has taken a massive toll on our restaurant industry’s recovery.
Years of failed leadership and anti-police rhetoric have wreaked havoc on our state--we must return to a society of law and order.

Democrats’ reckless spending has caused serious financial hardship for a majority of the American people.
This careless fiscal policy must end. We cannot spend our way out of this inflation crisis.
