Today, Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) introduced legislation to create a bipartisan congressional working group to identify the causes of, and propose solutions to, the rising prices Americans are seeing across the country.
"Skyrocketing prices are the single most common concern I hear from my constituents" Emmer said. "Americans are paying more for essentials everywhere from the grocery store to the gas pump, and working families are hit the hardest."
"Like many of my colleagues, I believe one of the major causes of the inflation we have been seeing is runaway government spending -- and many economists share that concern," Emmer continued. "Regardless of whether every Member of Congress agrees with me or not, we owe it to the American people to identify the root cause and begin to address the problem. This bill does just that."
