Democrats Follow Their Inflation Catastrophe With Another Reckless Taxing and Spending Spree
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Aug. 2, 2022
Tweet - "Even the Democrats' favorite estimate says their so-called inflation bill will take nine years to cut the same amount of inflation that our country added every week in June. Nine years of huge tax hikes and big spending to remove literally one week's worth of inflation. A joke."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Aug. 1, 2022
Tweet - "In the middle of a recession, Democrats want to raise taxes, kill jobs, and attack American energy. All of this economic genius is brought to you by the same people that said a $1.9 trillion spending spree would not cause inflation right before it did."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 27, 2022
Tweet - ""Democrats have already crushed American families with historic inflation. Now they want to pile on giant tax hikes that will hammer workers and kill many thousands of American jobs. First they killed your family's budget. Now they want to kill your job too."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 27, 2022

As Americans Struggle With Historic Inflation, Democrats Plan Tax Hikes
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 21, 2022
Tweet - "Washington Democrats' one-party government has performed an amazing feat: In eighteen months, they've taken an economy that was ready to soar and spent it into inflation. Now, their latest plans are threatening to tax it into recession."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 20, 2022
Democrats' War on Domestic Energy Hurts American Producers and Families
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 19, 2022
Kentuckians Cannot Afford Another Year of Biden's "Temporary" Inflation
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 19, 2022
Tweet - "A year ago today, with prices already rising, President Biden said high inflation was, "expected to be temporary." Well, last week's inflation report confirmed on paper what working families have been feeling for a year: President Biden's prediction was dead wrong."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 18, 2022
Democrats' Reckless Plan To Rob Americans A Second Time
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 14, 2022

Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 14, 2022
Tweet - "Tune in now to @FoxNews . I am about to join @marthamaccallum to discuss how the Democrats who spent us into inflation are now trying to tax us into recession."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 14, 2022
Tweet - "One clear reason we're suffering from 40-year high inflation: The $1.9 trillion reckless spending this all-Democratic government passed on a party-line basis last year. Now, after spending us into inflation, they want to tax us into a recession."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 13, 2022
Tweet - "This all-Democrat government has produced yet another absolutely terrible inflation report. Staggeringly bad numbers that represent crushing pain for millions of families. Fueled by the trillions in reckless spending that Democrats rammed through on party lines last year."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 12, 2022
Tweet - "Democrats' tax hike plans would shred President Biden's promise not to hike taxes on the middle class. Nonpartisan experts have proven their plans would hit working families and the middle class. First Democrats spent us into inflation. Now they want to tax you into recession."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 12, 2022
As Inflation Hammers Small Businesses, Democrats Float Huge Small Business Tax Hike
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 12, 2022
Tweet - "First Democrats spent us into inflation. Now they want to tax us into recession."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 11, 2022
Tweet - "Democrats have already picked the American people's pockets once with inflation. Now their solution is to pick your pockets a second time with giant new massive tax hikes? Democrats spent us into inflation. Now they want to tax us into a recession."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 5, 2022
Tweet - "Democrats' inflation already has families paying hundreds of extra dollars every month just to tread water. They turned a booming economy into a struggling economy. Now they're considering doing even more damage and ramming through gigantic tax hikes on party lines."
Sen. Mitch McConnell

Sen. Rand Paul
June 21, 2022
Tweet - "The same Democrats who spent 2021 trying to inflate their way out of inflation now want to spend 2022 tax-hiking their way right into a recession. You could not invent a worse time for Washington Democrats to pile huge new tax hikes on our country."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 17, 2022
Dr. Rand Paul Honors Beans Café and Bakery of Dry Ridge, Kentucky as Senate Small Business of the Week
Sen. Rand Paul
June 16, 2022
Tweet - "Just a few years back, Republican policies had created the best economy for American workers in a generation. Low inflation, robust growth, record low unemployment. Democrats' recklessness has produced soaring inflation, slowing growth, and growing risk of a full-on recession."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 16, 2022

Letter to Joseph R. Biden, President of United States - Rep. Crawford Works on Solutions to Lower Farm Input Costs
Rep. Andy Barr, ...
June 10, 2022
Tweet - "Another devastating inflation report for American workers and families. Another new 40-year high. Grocery prices off the charts, worst increase since the 1970s. Rent, gas, and electricity all way up. The Democrats' inflation has handed the average American a 3.9% real pay cut."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 7, 2022
Tweet - "Gas prices have doubled since this Administration took office. We need an all-American domestic energy strategy. But Democrats have a different plan: Less production and higher prices. And Americans are paying for it every day."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 6, 2022
Tweet - "Working families feel Democrats' inflation every day. Soaring grocery prices. Gas approaching or already above $5. Runaway heating bills last winter and electric bills coming next. Appliances, clothes, and furniture way up. Real wages falling because paychecks can't keep up."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
May 26, 2022
Tweet - "As summer begins, travel costs from airfare to rental cars are surging. But millions of Americans are struggling to cover basic expenses, let alone vacations. The new normal under Democrats' inflation: Harder to fill the tank. Harder to feed a family. Harder to get by."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
May 20, 2022
Tweet - "Today marks 11 straight days of record-breaking gas prices. Getting to work, running errands, and hitting the highway for a modest family vacation all costs 88% more at the pump than it cost when President Biden put his hand on that Bible."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
May 19, 2022
Record High Gas Prices Reflect Democrats' Misunderstanding
Sen. Mitch McConnell
May 11, 2022
Tweet - "Gas prices are now the highest they have ever been in American history. Americans are now paying roughly $4.40 per gallon. That's up about two whole dollars from when President Biden put his hand on the Bible."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
May 10, 2022

Sen. Mitch McConnell
April 1, 2022
ICYMI: McConnell on Fox News @ Night
Sen. Mitch McConnell
March 31, 2022
Americans Accurately Blame Democrats' Policies for Bad Economy
Sen. Mitch McConnell
March 31, 2022
Tweet - "The worst inflation in 40 years is fleecing American consumers from the gas pump to the grocery store. Democrats' policies have prices rising faster than wages. The American people know one month of war in Europe doesn't explain 12 months of rising inflation on Democrats' watch."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
March 29, 2022
Tweet - "Democrats' massive inflation is hammering working families. It's badly hurt our entire economy. But President Biden just proposed a new budget that would dramatically increase liberal spending and slap the biggest tax hikes on American history on top. They just do not get it."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
