They\u2019re more concerned with that than the looming recession. For Democrats in Washington, they like to play the word game, and it\u2019s being played with the media. But in West Virginia, the recession is very real. Real people are being really hurt because of failed liberal policies. Inflation is over 9%, gas is over $4 a gallon. Our economy is shrinking, and the D.C. Democrats just keep spending and spending more and more money.\u201d\n\nShe continued, \u201c\u2026you would hope that the Democrats and the Biden Administration would actually admit that we're in a recession. If they deny it, people in West Virginia and across America will continue to suffer. When it comes to recession, the Democrats aren\u2019t in touch with reality. They seem to care more about fixing Biden\u2019s plummeting approval ratings than they do about an economic plan. Americans are feeling this through and through. I urge them to stop with the games, accept reality, and join with the Republicans to solve the problems. Open up our energy resources now.\u201d\n\nImage\n\nClick here or on the above image to watch the Congresswoman\u2019s full remarks.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:49:02Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-miller-when-it-comes-recession-democrats-arent-touch-reality"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0974002070724964, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
