Congressman Pence: "America, Democrats Are Coming For You."

Statement

Date: May 19, 2022
Location: Washington, DC

Congressman Greg Pence spoke out on the U.S. House floor about the Democrats sham price-gouging legislation and the inflation crisis hurting Hoosiers.

Congressman Pence's remarks as prepared for delivery are below.

I thank my friend and the Ranking Member McMorris-Rodgers for yielding.

Madam Chair, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 7688, because all I hear about back in my Indiana Sixth District is INFLATION!

INFLATION. INFLATION. INFLATION.

And it's not just gas prices.

Everyone knows how we got here: Not a "Putin price hike" or "price gouging," it's out of control federal spending and out of touch liberal policies.

America pay attention right now: First it's gonna be the oil companies. Then it's going to be the medical industry. Then it's gonna be the meat producers. Then it's gonna be the farmers.

The Democrats are coming for YOU! They want to take the money out of your pockets through "price-gouging bills" instead of fighting to do the right thing in fighting inflation.

Let's be clear -- their policies are WRONG!

I know a handful of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle know this is wrong, and even they are prepared to vote no.

We must reject this abuse of our lawmaking authority, and instead look to deregulation for the answers.

I urge you all to vote no.

Thank you, I yield back.
