House Speaker Mike Johnsonaccused Democrats of creating the very economic problems they now claim to be trying to solve, declaring, “You can’t be an arsonist and a firefighter.” In a sharp broadside against the former Biden administration’s affordability messaging, Johnson argued that Democratic policies on spending, energy, and regulation have fueled inflation, strained family budgets, and worsened the cost-of-living crisis. Framing Republicans as the party with a “credible rescue plan,” he said Democrats are scrambling to fix issues they “set ablaze,” and vowed the GOP would continue pushing for pro-people measures.
