Republican Senators Excoriate Biden For Inflation; Trash Build Back Better Plan

Republican Senators argue that Democratic lawmakers and President Biden have recklessly spent trillions of dollars creating inflationary pressures and driving up costs for average families. They say the problem will be exacerbated if Democrats pass the Build Back Better bill.

Discussion Questions

1. Is the Build Back Better bill appropriate for Congress to consider while inflation is such a significant issue?
2. Could possible benefits outweigh concerns about inflation, or does inflation supersede any potential benefits in the bill?
