The senator’s comments came during Tuesday’s Senate Finance Committee hearing which featured testimony from United States Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. Yellen was called to clarify the Biden administration’s approach to tackling the high level of inflation and gas prices Americans are currently facing.
While addressing Yellen, Stabenow, who appeared to be all smiles, talked about her fortunate situation of not having to fuel up while driving from her home state of Michigan to Washington, D.C.. She was able to avoid the high gas prices and seemed quite pleased about it.
