Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL-03) released the following statement on reports that the U.S. GDP fell for the second quarter straight – a sign that the U.S. is now in a recession.

“Today’s news is proof that Joe Biden and his administration lied to the American people about the risks of a recession. On day one of his administration, Biden put the American people last by dismantling President Trump’s successful economic policies. Under Biden, Americans have been hit with record-high inflation, sky-high gas prices, and now a recession. Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer have only worsened the economic crisis facing Americans with their out-of-control socialist spending and anti-American energy policies. Biden can’t lie his way out of this – we need to get our economy back on track.”
