SEN. RICK SCOTT: [Biden] should meet [with] families across our country that are struggling with inflation. I mean, there's families all across the country like what my mom was dealing with when I grew up -- we lived in public housing -- they're worried about: Do I have money for gas? Do I have money for food? Gosh, I can't buy a car anymore. And home prices have skyrocketed and rent’s up because of this reckless government spending is causing inflation.

He wants to meet with the CEOs of banks. Of course, they want to spend more money. I mean, what we need to do is do what every family has to do: live within their means and quit borrowing money, quit maxing out the credit card. That's what we've got to do.
