Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday accused Republicans of being more interested in making speeches about inflation than offering solutions
"Democrats remain laser-focused on lowering costs for American families," Schumer said Wednesday from the Senate floor.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer speaks to reporters after a Democratic policy meeting at the Capitol. "Republicans seem to have no solutions, just rhetoric. … Our Republican colleagues seem more comfortable giving speeches that go on and on about rising costs, without offering any solutions," Schumer continued. "Complaining about the problem doesn't make inflation better; proposing solutions does."Economic numbers out last week showed inflation accelerated 7.5% in January, reaching a fresh 40-year high.
Senate Republicans held a news conference Wednesday where 14 speakers said Biden's policies of more spending with the American Rescue Plan and executive actions to tamp down American energy production have accelerated inflation in the United States. "I'm glad that the Democrats are finally coming to the conclusion that this is an issue that needs to be addressed," said Sen. John Thune, R-S.D, "but they missed the boat a long time ago, starting with the vote last March to increase spending by $2 trillion, which led to this inflationary crisis that we're in.
