You Cannot Spend Your Way Out of Inflation or Tax Yourself Out of Recession

August 12, 2022

Speeches

The Democrats printed and spent trillions of dollars we didn’t have and unleashed the worst inflation in forty years. They waged war on American energy and plunged us into recession. Now they are doubling down on these foolish policies. It seems the more that some people invest in their mistakes, the less willing they are to admit them.

The Inflation Tax

June 3, 2021

Columns

When the Democrats passed Mr. Biden’s $1.9 trillion spending spree in March, a lot of people got a lot of free money – thousands of dollars in many cases. But the bill is already coming due for that free money, and, as many of us warned, it turns out that free money is very expensive. Indeed, it turns out that the very same families most harmed by the lockdowns will be the most harmed by paying the bill for the lockdown relief. It comes to about $15,000 for an average family and the first installment is already reflected in the rising inflation sapping the purchasing power of working families.

In Opposition to the FY 2021 Budget Resolution

February 3, 2021

Speeches

Two Trillion dollars in revenues. Six trillion dollars in spending. This is madness. This is how countries commit fiscal suicide: force the economy to shut down and then hand out government checks. The problem, of course, is that government does not finance the economy. It is the economy that finances the government. And when you wantonly destroy millions of jobs by forcing small businesses to shutter, by cancelling construction and energy production across the country; when you flood the labor market with millions of illegal immigrants (all at a time when millions of Americans are out of work), you shut down the economy and you shut down the tax revenues that the economy produces and that the government spends.
