"First of all, this Congress under unified far-left Democrat government, you have Democrats controlling the Senate, the House and the White House, they have spent more taxpayer dollars than any other Congress in our nation’s history. We’re talking trillions and trillions of dollars and economists in both parties, both Republican and Democrat economists like Larry Summers warned that this endless amount of spending would lead to rampant historic inflation, and of course that’s what we’re seeing," Stefanik said.

She also criticized President Biden’s attempts to downplay or shift the blame away from his administration.
