WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Westerman (R-AR) released the following statement on the one year anniversary of President Biden's inauguration.
Rep. Bruce Westerman
FFA offered me incredible high school experiences for which I will always be grateful. Much of what I know about agriculture and animal husbandry came not only from growing up on a small farm, but also from the classroom and hands-on experiences FFA afforded. Looking back, I had no idea how important FFA would be in my career, but I sure do now. The number one industry in Arkansas' Fourth District, which I'm privileged to represent in Congress, is agriculture.
Inflation continues to dominate the headlines as November's inflation rate was up 0.8%, bringing the total inflation increase to 6.8% this year, the highest in 40 years. Though the Biden Administration continues to blame the press – and anyone else they can – for stoking fears about inflation, American families know that inflation is real, and they know that the President's poor policies are largely to blame.

President Biden's "Build Back Better" (BBB) agenda certainly has a catchy name. It implies that through this legislation, America will be catapulted into a new, and brighter, future.
President Biden is right about one thing: This will remake America into something we have never seen before, but I question if it's a remaking America needs or wants.
This week, I cosponsored Congressman Fred Keller's Congressional Review Act to block President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate on businesses with over 100 workers.
WASHINGTON - Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5376, also known as President Biden's "Build Back Better" agenda. Congressman Bruce Westerman (R-AR) released the following statement:
Rep. Bruce Westerman
The White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain recently retweeted a preposterous claim that inflation is a "high class problem." I disagree.
WASHINGTON – U.S Representative Bruce Westerman (R-AR) concluded his annual tour of Arkansas agriculture, where he visited farmers and other agriculture producers across the Fourth District. Westerman issued the following statement:
My annual agriculture tour of the Fourth District is one of the best weeks of the year. I get the chance to travel the district end to end and meet with some of the hardest working men and women who keep America on her feet. All the people I've met with, from business owners to employees, have an important lesson to teach about their daily lives that I can take back with me to Washington.
It has been a busy week on Capitol Hill as lawmakers wait to vote on the $1.2 trillion infrastructure legislation, which is intricately tied to the $4.3 trillion reconciliation package. To pave the way for the massive spending packages that total over $5,000,000,000,000, Democrats voted, in a completely political move, to suspend the debt limit until just after the mid-term elections in 2022. This allows Democrats to completely pass the buck and avoid telling the American people how much each of us owe to cover the Democrats' massive spending priorities.
