As The Federal Reserve Moves to Cut Interest Rates, Here’s Your Reminder that Sam Brown Called for Massive Interest Rate Hikes

September 19, 2024

The plan to cut interest rates will bring much-needed relief to hardworking families, but Brown wants to raise interest rates so high the country could be thrown into a recession

As the Federal Reserve moves to cut interest rates, bringing much-needed relief for hardworking Nevadans facing high costs, here is your reminder that MAGA extremist Sam Brown has repeatedly pushed to drastically increase interest rates – an out-of-touch position that puts him at odds with Nevadans in both political parties.

During his failed 2022 Senate bid, Brown said the Fed “ought to be raising interest rates at a much more aggressive level,” calling for a two-and-a-half point rate hike. When pushed about how this move could actively plunge the economy into a recession, Brown admitted that his plan wouldn’t be “pretty or easy.”

Brown has even attacked Senator Jacky Rosen’s calls for the Fed to cut interest rates and move faster on financial relief to Nevadans – accusing her of not understanding economics.

Nevada State Democratic Party Spokesperson Katharine Kurz

“While Senator Jacky Rosen has been pushing for lower interest rates, Sam Brown called for raising interest rates so high that our country would spiral into a recession. Brown’s efforts to massively hike interest rates puts him out of step with Nevadans in both political parties and proves how his extreme agenda would harm hardworking families across our state.”
