Neal challenges treasury secretary on economic policies

Published | Video Starts at 00:56

That report from the Federal Reserve Board about where we are now with people using their credit cards more, I think is an indication of how rough parts of the economy are for large members of the American family. And I also thought that His [Treasury Secretary Scott Besant's] suggestion that inflation was not really a problem denies reality. Neal says the conflict in Iran is driving up prices here at home. Last night, he voted for a War Powers Resolution aimed at limiting the president's military actions in Iran. (00:56–01:01)

CLAIM

Asserts that Treasury Secretary Scott Besant's view on inflation is unrealistic.
