Congressman Ben Cline, representing Virginia's 6th district since 2019, has been vocal on social media about various economic and political issues. In a series of tweets, he discusses topics ranging from consumer prices to healthcare costs and legislative priorities.
On March 12, 2025, Congressman Cline highlighted a decline in several economic indicators. He noted that "Core consumer prices are at their lowest level in four years. Gas prices are at their lowest March level in four years. Mortgage rates are dropping. Airline prices are down." He attributed these changes to leadership in the White House.
Later that day, Cline addressed state expenditures on healthcare for undocumented immigrants. He stated that "Florida spent nearly $660 million on healthcare for illegal immigrants in 2024 alone." This spending included emergency room visits and Medicaid payments funded by taxpayers.
On March 13, 2025, Congressman Cline criticized Senate Democrats for their actions regarding government funding. He expressed concern that "Senate Democrats are once again prioritizing politics over the American people-blocking a CR that keeps our government open and supports our troops, small businesses, and veterans." He urged Senators to reconsider their stance.
