We did not vote for this war. We did not ask for escalating conflict in the Middle East, and we certainly did not consent to bearing the economic consequences of it. The US is facing the very real prospect of inflation climbing to 4.2%. Before this conflict began, inflation was stabilizing. Now, because of surging oil prices, disrupted supply chains, and geopolitical instability, American families are being told to brace for rising costs on everything from gas to groceries. This was avoidable. This was a choice. So what, exactly, are you going to do about it? What is your plan to mitigate the damage being inflicted on the American people? Will you provide targeted relief to offset rising energy costs? Will you take steps to stabilize supply chains? Will you finally assert oversight over a reckless foreign war that is directly harming the domestic economy? Or will you, once again, stand by while working families absorb the consequences? Congress is not a spectator body. You control spending. You oversee policy. You are supposed to act as a check when executive decisions threaten the economic stability of this country. Right now, Americans are being told to accept higher prices, slower growth, and increased financial strain all because of a war they never wanted. That is unacceptable. Take back control. Demand accountability. Intervene to protect the American economy. Use the full extent of your authority to mitigate this crisis before it deepens further. If you fail to act, then you are not just allowing this damage—you are endorsing it. What is your plan? The country deserves an answer.
