U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. joined Senator Marsha Blackburn (TN) in introducing the Stop The Inflationary Spending Spree Act to increase the voting threshold from 60 votes to a 67 vote supermajority for spending packages during periods of high inflation.

"Inflation is here to stay as long as those on the left continue to throw gasoline on the fire with their reckless taxing, reckless borrowing, and reckless spending agenda. Joe Biden and the Democrats inherited a vaccine and a re-emerging economy ready to take off like a rocket ship. All they had to do was sit back and do nothing but now their out-of-control socialist spending spree has brought the highest inflation in 39 years," said Senator Marshall. "Inflation hurts everyone but none more than our seniors and young hard working families living paycheck to paycheck. I'm proud to partner with my colleagues to introduce this legislation to halt Democrats' out of control spending and restore a flourishing free market economy for the American people."
