Biden's 'BBB-BS plan' deconstructed by Republican congressman

Florida congressman Carlos Gimenez railed against the Build Back Better plan Saturday on "Fox News Live."

REP. CARLOS GIMENEZ, R-FLA.: I think it'll affect the midterms big time. It's always pocketbook issues are what [drive] elections and pocketbook issues will drive the midterms, too. And the inflation rate is at a…30-year all-time high. And…it just continues to go up and up and up. More people may be getting more money in their paychecks, but it's all being gobbled up by higher gas prices. Food, eggs, milk, everything you're buying is going to be more expensive.

This is going to be the most expensive Thanksgiving in history. And if you want to get somewhere, it's also going to cost you a heck of a lot more because the president is heck-bent on trying to destroy our…oil and gas industry here in the United States and then begging OPEC to produce more. All of that has the effect of inflation raising prices. And when you dump trillions of dollars into the economy, what do you think is going to happen? You know, that's Economics 101. The value of the dollar will go down. The price of everything is going to go up. It's going to hurt the poor. It's going to hurt the middle class. And it's going to hurt seniors who are on fixed incomes the most. So yeah, I think it's going to hurt [Democrats] in the midterms.
