WASHINGTON, DC – Representative Kevin Hern (OK-01) released the following statement after voting YES on HR 347, the Reduce Exacerbated Inflation Negatively Impacting the Nation (REIN IN) Act. 

“Inflation continues to be the number one concern for American families, and it has largely been driven by Democrat spending both in Congress and in the White House,” said Rep. Hern. “Americans elected a Republican House to provide accountability over this President, which is exactly what we’re doing with the REIN IN Act. Biden cannot continue to spend American’s tax dollars with the stroke of a pen.” 

The REIN IN Act requires the Office of Management and Budget and the Council of Economic Advisors to provide an inflation estimate for each Executive Order that is projected to cause an annual gross budgetary effect of at least $1 billion.
