In listening to both sides and to Director Hall during this hearing we heard very few ideas for stimulating growth in the economy or specifics about what we would cut or how we would fix some of the mandatory spending programs.
Yarmuth critiques the lack of concrete economic growth proposals during the hearing.

Thanks to the Rescue Plan, unemployment is near historic lows at 3.6 percent.
I don't really think that it is appropriate to say that it is about men versus women, that it is much more appropriate to say that it is about governmental policy and how you shut down an economy.
I am actually really excited as I have been listening to previous testimony that some of those ideas have already been incorporated.
I think that the American Rescue Plan did a lot to push against the spike in hardship that we would have seen that would have disproportionately fallen on communities of color that have for centuries faced systemic racism.
