With increasing risks of a recession and rising mortgage rates, this is no time to resurrect failed tax-and-spend proposals that will only cause further economic damage.” As Crapo has said, this inflationary environment preceded Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and has outpaced inflation in other developed countries in no small part due to the outsized, unnecessary spending in the American Rescue Plan. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:29:07Z |
