MTG fumes that Republicans are ‘doing nothing’ to tackle high food prices as shutdown rumbles on - Lemmy.World

The far-right congresswoman has increasingly broken ranks with the MAGA movement, leading even Donald Trump to wonder ‘What’s going on with Marjorie?’ Marjorie Taylor Greene has hit out at her fellow Republicans for “doing nothing” about rising food and healthcare costs in her latest breach with the Trump administration. In an interview with the conservative broadcaster Real America’s Voice on Tuesday, the Georgia congresswoman warned that letting Joe Biden’s Affordable Care Act subsidies expire at the end of the year would “crush” Americans’ finances. Those subsidies are now at the heart of a government shutdown that’s lasted 15 days and counting. Senate Democrats are demanding the subsidies be extended as a condition of reopening the government while Republicans are refusing to budge.

My guess? She’s somehow financially compromised. A congressperson doesn’t feel the urgency of high costs of living unless it affects them somehow; and if she’s worried about the prices of everyday staple items, she’s losing money.

I believe some of her family members are financially struggling. Might be a reason why.
