Former WH strategic communications director Mercedes Schlapp and Fox News contributor Charlie Hurt discuss inflation on ‘Kudlow’<\/p>\n
Senate<\/u> Republicans on Wednesday evening hoped to pass a resolution requiring all spending and tax-related legislation to included analyses on how they will impact inflation, but it did not get enough votes.<\/p>\n
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., introduced the rule change — which was first presented to the House in May by Republican Indiana Rep. Jim Banks, chairman of the Republican Study Committee — on July 28 as a resolution to President Biden's bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure<\/u> package amid concerns of rising inflation.<\/p>\n
"Over the weekend, the suspension on the federal debt ceiling expired, and that leaves Congress with two choices: Continue this reckless, wasteful spending with no accountability to the American people, or start making the tough choices to put America on a successful path," Scott said Wednesday as he called for unanimous consent to pass the resolution, which received 52 out of 60 votes needed.<\/p>\n
