The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on Wednesday as a response to the Biden administration’s executive actions, which many lawmakers say have fueled rising prices and exacerbated inflation.
The Reduce Exacerbated Inflation Negatively Impacting the Nation (REIN IN) Inflation Act (H. R. 347) requires the president to publish the inflationary impact of executive actions before enacting them. The bill does nothing to alter government spending.
The legislation (pdf) passed in a 272-148 vote, with the support of 59 Democrats. Four Republicans voted against it. They are Reps. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Bob Good (R-Va.), Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.), and Chip Roy (R-Texas)….}
