Rep. Mann released the following statement, summarizing his remarks.\n\n\u201cWe need to reduce and reprioritize government spending, secure the southern border, and end the weaponization of the federal government,\u201d said Rep. Mann. \"The Biden Administration and Washington Democrats\u2019 spending addiction has created massive inflation and increased our national debt to $33 trillion. $2.4 trillion of that debt has accrued over just the past 365 days. That's more than $76,000 per second. The Biden Administration\u2019s spending is out of touch with what Americans want, and it\u2019s crushing our economy.\n\nWe\u2019re all feeling it \u2013 especially in middle America where new, costly regulations are forcing small businesses to close, gas is nearly $4 per gallon, and people\u2019s paychecks are over-taxed. House Republicans have offered commonsense solutions to this problem. We passed the Limit, Save, Grow Act to stop wasting taxpayer dollars, reclaim unspent COVID relief money, and promote pro-growth economic policies. We must stand firm in our commitment to reducing and reprioritizing government spending. Our economic situation is dangerous, unsustainable, and it\u2019s putting our children\u2019s future on the chopping block.\n\nMeanwhile, a humanitarian crisis continues to rage at our southern border, and the Biden Administration is overseeing and directing an unprecedented weaponization of the federal government. House Republicans are constantly fighting back against overreaching government regulations that are hurting middle America.\n\nWhen government grows, freedom shrinks. Americans cannot afford President Biden\u2019s out-of-control spending and should not be forced to bear the burden of his big government overreach. We need to get our fiscal house back in order to protect America\u2019s future.\u201d\n\nClick here to view Rep.
