With multiple crises facing America today such as the disaster in Afghanistan and unconstitutional mandates from the Biden Administration, the last thing we should be doing is wasting time deciding how to waste money we don’t have anyway,” said Graves. “This massive tax and spend plan will only fuel further inflation, taxing working class Americans who are struggling to get by right now, and pile on more debt, taxing our kids and grandkids in the future. We don’t need more spending, more taxation, and more inflation. We need to pump the brakes on this reckless spending spree and get back to doing the peoples’ work.” You can watch Ranking Member Graves opening statement here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:17:01Z |
