Chairman Arrington Statement on June Jobs Report:
House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-TX) responds to the June jobs numbers:
"Polices have consequences and Biden's tax and spend agenda has resulted in a weaker economy and serious financial problems for working families.
With first quarter economic output growing by less than 2 percent, inflation remaining too high, an underwhelming job market with over a hundred thousand fewer jobs than previously projected, and now rising unemployment, there are real concerns about stagflation."
