Rep. Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico expressed her frustration at House Republicans during a heated hearing led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, particularly regarding their plan to raise the debt ceiling by $4 trillion. Stansbury highlighted how this decision contradicts the need to address escalating inflation and rising food and energy prices. She challenged the Republican agenda, arguing that it prioritizes ideological goals over fiscal responsibility, while also wondering where efforts to manage inflation and support programs like Medicare and Medicaid fit into their policy proposals.
"I thought you were going to tackle inflation and food and energy prices. Isn't that what the executive orders were supposed to do?"
"The Republicans just released their plan to raise the debt limit while we were sitting here, and they want to raise it by $4 trillion."
