ICYMI: Bipartisan Budget Experts Support Legislation to Reduce the Deficit and Fight Inflation

The nation's top budget experts – including former Governor and Director of the Office of Management and Budget Mitch Daniel Daniels, former Senator Dan Coats, and former Senator Alan Simpson – are calling on Congress to reduce the Federal deficit to relieve the inflationary pressures. More than 50 former legislators, cabinet members, economists, and policy members encourage the passage of deficit reducing legislation.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will reduce the Federal deficit by approximately $300 billion and lower inflation for American families while not increasing taxes for individuals earning less than $400,000 per year.
