Democrats In Their Own Words: Don't Raise Taxes During a Recession

America is in a recession because of Washington Democrats’ reckless spending that caused the worst inflation crisis in forty years. Real GDP fell 1.6 percent in the first quarter of this year and 0.9 percent in the second quarter. Over the last 75 years, every single time the economy has experienced consecutive quarters of negative growth, America has been in a recession. Inflation is currently at a forty-year high of 9.1 percent – having risen 13.8 percent since President Biden took office. Real wages have fallen 5.1 percent. But today, Washington Democrats are in the process of trying to revive their Build Back Broke agenda that will raise taxes by hundreds of billions during a full-blown recession. Tax hikes are a particularly bad idea during a recession – according to Democrats: Leave it to Washington Democrats to try and spend their way out of inflation and tax their way out of a recession.
