In an op-ed for the Washington Examiner, Ways and Means Republican Rep. Drew Ferguson (R-GA) writes that Democrats are adding gas to an economic fire.

Key excerpts:

• “To choke Russia out of the global economy, the United States must restore domestic energy production. This begins with reversing the policies that have weakened American energy independence. We must cut Russia off and work in conjunction with our allies to crush Putin economically.”
• “People are not only paying more for oil and gas — they’re paying more to feed their children, heat their homes, and run their businesses. Biden and congressional Democrats are spending money at an unsustainable rate, passing multiple trillion-dollar bills, and creating the worst inflation our country has seen in 40 years.”
• “Their solution to this historic inflation is more inflationary government spending. We can’t keep adding gas to the fire. Their big-government socialist spending bills are bleeding people dry. It’s time for pro-growth fiscal policies to get our economy back on track.”
