That inflation reduction bill has several NEW taxes hitting Jan 1.

And those taxes on food, energy, health, retail will most certainly be passed on to us.

The GOP has a plan for both crime & inflation, but where are these plans going to go with the empty-headed Biden in charge? And with the dimwit Democrats calling the shots (now) where are THEIR plans for crime and inflation? This is THEIR responsibility for the time being.

Only 42 Biden officials testifying? That seems like a low number.

I don't know how they figure that out.

And have we had any debt reduction in the last 5, 6, 7, 8 years?
Why not go directly to the source for the right information....like the CBO ???

https://www.cbo.gov/publication/58366

CBO estimates that enacting this legislation would result in a net decrease in the deficit totaling $90 billion over the 2022-2031 perio

Naturally. The D's and their media have been lying about and obstructing the Hunter laptop matter from the get-go and they still are. Weird that you think it's funny though.

"Biden family has 150+ ‘suspicious activity reports’ but Treasury ‘obstructing’ release says House GOP"

So basically, you’re saying that it is OK for a president or Vice President of the US to break the law by selling out the country for millions of dollars?! Is that what you’re trying to say?? If so, don’t you find it a little hypocritical if you’re fine with the non-stop and current investigations into Trump, but Biden should get a free pass no matter what?

Also, are you OK with a compromised presidency that could force the US into a war? If you’re OK with that, are you OK with our boys and girls dying on foreign lands to protect a criminal in the Whitehouse? I truly hope not cuz that is so wrong.

I agree with you that nobody, hut Hunter, isn’t going to prison, but I support getting the truth out on corruption at the highest levels within the government. Even if, by a freak chance Hunter is convicted of a felony, daddy Biden will automatically pardon him BEFORE he serves one hour in custody.

Unlike the Left, I would like the truth to be known and these hearings are needed to document this criminal activity since the media will not do their job in reporting the truth since for six years now, they have been suppressing the truth to support their own agenda.

Honestly, if Trump is guilty of anything than I want him to be investigated. Here is a moment of truth, Trump has been under investigation since 2016 AND they haven’t found any criminal wrong doing. As for those “secret” documents, every president has done the same thing. Heck, Bill Clinton hide Top Secret documents in his sock drawer and Obama had to return several documents as well.

If you like to live a lie, fine, but I prefer the truth, for better or worse.

I'm not fussed about it. If in all those hearings they find criminal activity -- then fine.

But in the meantime -- what's the solution for inflation, immigration, health care?
The Dems wont cooperate with ANY real inititiative the Pubs have right now anyways...might as well investigatte the heck out of the Libs to see if we can put any of them away, & sway voters away from them before Nov 2024.

Do unto others....how does it feel?

The Dem controlled Senate will block anything the Pubs try to do, except when the continuing resolutions are needed...then they are best pals for a few days. That is the only time we'll see anything real get done over the next 2 years...we have a stalemate because the Dems won't have an open dialogue on how to fix anything.

Not the "Republican Party".
The House Judiciary and Oversight Committes of the chamber the Republicans will control.
That's the job of those Committes. They are not forming a new or separate Committe (like the Jan 6th Committe)...they are doing the normal work of standard House Committes.

But Trump started it. People like you are insisting inflation was ALL Biden's doing. Why do you keep lying? When are you going to stop lying?
