Dr. Rand Paul: Republicans musn't enable Biden's overspending by waiving PAYGO
Sen. Rand Paul
Dec. 2, 2021
Tweet - "Tune in now to @FoxNews . I am joining @BillHemmer and @DanaPerino to discuss Democrats' absurd attempt to inflate their way out of inflation with a multi-trillion-dollar reckless taxing and spending spree."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Dec. 2, 2021
Tweet - "For Christmas, the single biggest gift Washington Democrats could give to the American people is to kill this multi-trillion-dollar reckless taxing and spending bill. The last thing this country needs is more inflationary spending."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Nov. 30, 2021
Tweet - "The single best thing we can do to fight inflation is to kill Democrats' multi-trillion-dollar reckless taxing and spending spree. Not a single Republican is going to vote for it."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Nov. 29, 2021
Tweet - "President Biden promised Americans his reckless taxing and spending spree would cost $0. It's not true. The CBO says it will add $800 billion to the deficit in the next 5 years. Even if you accept all their budget gimmicks, it still doesn't come close to balancing after a decade."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Nov. 16, 2021
Tweet - "There is no uncertainty about what the number one issue is among Americans: It's inflation. 90% of Americans are concerned about inflation. But Democrats want to ignore the people and spend trillions more. Americans can not afford another massive dose of socialism."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Nov. 16, 2021
Tweet - "Gas prices and heating costs are soaring. Families are suffering. The Democrats' answer? More borrowing, printing, and spending on anti-energy policies that would dump money into supply chains that China controls. Make working Americans pay extra to Build Back Beijing."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Nov. 15, 2021
Tweet - "Democrats' inflation is crushing families. Consumer prices just saw their steepest spike in 30 years. Just what Republicans warned would happen when President Biden began his spending spree back in the spring. And their answer is to tax, borrow, print, and spend trillions more?"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Nov. 9, 2021

Rep. Jamie Comer
Oct. 21, 2021
