Growing Our Economy

Hard-working Americans are paying the price for Democrats’ out-of-control spending spree. Since the Biden administration took office, inflation has risen almost 20% overall.

Our national debt has surpassed $34 trillion. Washington can’t keep swiping our country’s credit card and expect Americans to pay for the consequences. Americans don’t get a credit card without a spending limit, and the federal government shouldn’t either.

Washington should be focused on restoring America to its greatest potential.

We must cut wasteful spending to fight inflation. We must restore America’s energy independence to lower energy prices. We must rein in federal overreach and cut burdensome regulations to support our small businesses. We must restore fiscal sanity to Washington and get our country back on track.

Below are a few highlights of legislation I have supported to help grow our economy.

H.R. 23 — Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act — This legislation would block the Biden administration from unleashing 87,000 new IRS agents to go after families and small businesses and their unprecedented increase in IRS audits. This legislation would also prevent the IRS from using its $80 billion increase to target Americans for the purpose of squeezing even more dollars from the pockets of hard-working Americans. It passed the U.S. House in 2023.

H.R. 3175 — Regulation Reduction Act of 2023 — This legislation would prohibit federal agencies from issuing a rule unless the agency has repealed at least two existing rules. It also would direct federal agencies to submit a review of all costly, duplicative, or outdated agency rules to Congress and to the Office of Management and Budget.

H.R. 7024 — Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024 — This legislation would restore and expand proven Trump-era tax policies from 2017 that supported hard-working American families, made the economy more successful and productive, grew workers’ wages, spurred job creation and greater investment in America. This legislation would help American companies stay competitive, allow Main Street businesses to survive and grow, and give tax relief to working families struggling because of inflation and high interest rates. It passed the U.S. House in 2024.
