Instead of addressing this cause, liberals continue to double down by passing their socalled, Inflation Reduction Act, while the Congressional Budget Office now reports that this act will increase our deficit through 2026.

The answer to this crisis will not be found in more government handouts. More than ever we need to stop the inflation that is crippling our economy and hurting pennsylvania and all american families.

Yet President Biden expects them to pick up the tab for those who did. Its simply wrong to take hardearned dollars from blue collar works for the tennessee who have no student loan debt, just to eliminate some or all of the student loan debts of usually higher paid college graduates.

Mr. Rose this comes at the cost of 500 million which will push inflanges and the inflation and the skyrocketing cost of everything even higher and add to the pain tennesseans already feel from the president s other disastrous fiscal policies.
