Guest Releases Statement Following Signs of Economic Recession

Washington, D.C.– Today, Congressman Michael Guest (MS-03) released the following statement after the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) announced a consecutive quarter of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) decline in 2022, a strong signal of an economic recession.

“Across Mississippi’s Third Congressional District, I’ve spoken to people who are struggling under the economic crisis of the Biden Administration. They’re paying more for gas, groceries, and just about everything else,” Guest said. “President Biden has focused on the political fallout a recession would have on his Administration instead of the real-world problems that affect the pocketbooks of the American people.”

“The solution is simple — President Biden must admit his policies have completely failed and then work with Congress to reinstate the conservative economic principles that he has spent the last year and a half stripping away. Any other actions would only lead our country further into a recession — yet another crisis of this Administration that falls on the shoulders of hard-working Americans.”
