On the recordFebruary 28, 2023
We have created 12 million new jobs in America. How many million jobs do they want to erase over there in their desperate, sudden pursuit of inflation? They raised the debt limit three times under Donald Trump. Now they talk about the debt limit all the time. They raised it three times, and they contributed under Donald Trump 25 percent of all the debt in the United States from George Washington to Joe Biden--25 percent of the debt under one President, Donald Trump. They did that, and now they dare come talk to us about inflation, and the bill that they advance is one to have some people pass some more paperwork around. Come on. Give me a break. Give us something better than the running on empty initiative with no new ideas at all. We recommend a ``no'' vote. What real economic action requires is precisely what President Biden is already doing.
