WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mark Amodei (NV-02) today issued the following statement after the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released February’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report:

“We’ve broken the record for the worst economic report in modern times. Inflation, up 7.9%, is at a 40 year high. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the price of gas has increased by 38%, the price of steak has increased by 17%, and the cost of staying in a hotel has increased by 29%. And yet, the ever-dysfunctional, irresponsible, and agenda-driven majority party in Congress and the White House continue to pursue progressive, Green New Deal policies, further driving up prices of everyday, essential goods. But I guess as long as you don’t need food, shelter, or to buy gas, everything is just perfect.”
