"President Trump and his administration [do] deserve a lot of credit for lowering inflation and holding it steady, but that doesn't bring prices down. And so gaslighting the people and trying to tell them that prices have come down is not helping," she said. "It's actually infuriating people because people know what they're paying at the grocery store. They know what they're paying for their kid's clothes and school supplies."
"Government spending drives inflation, she said, arguing that the CARES Act and later Democratic bills dump money into the economy in ways that sent prices soaring. Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent have both called the idea of a cost-of-living crisis a con job being pushed by a Democrat-backed media over the past week, insisting that prices are down and dismissing concerns."
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene scolded the Trump administration and MAGA Republicans for gaslighting Americans about a cost-of-living crisis and warned against denying rising consumer prices. She rejected President Trump's claim that groceries are at their lowest prices. Persistent polling shows Americans do not feel inflation has eased enough to improve daily costs. Greene praised efforts to lower and steady inflation but emphasized that lower inflation rates do not immediately reduce prices. She blamed government spending—including the CARES Act and later Democratic legislation—for driving price increases and urged Republicans to acknowledge voters' struggles rather than lecture or deny them.
