Chairs Rodgers, Griffith Announce O&I Subcommittee Hearing on President Biden’s Massive Spending Spree

President Biden’s massive spending has led to record levels of inflation, which is hitting Americans hard at the pump, in the grocery store, and almost everywhere they turn. Worse, this administration is prioritizing projects that weaken our energy security, increase our dependency on foreign adversaries, and recklessly reward their political allies to the detriment of the American people’s interests. As part of our oversight efforts to eliminate government waste, fraud, and abuse, this hearing will give our committee a chance to hold the administration accountable.” 

NOTE: Earlier this month, the Committee requested a full accounting of spending from the Biden administration, including Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm.

WHAT: A subcommittee hearing to conduct oversight of President Biden’s massive spending spree.
