Hoy, senador Martin Heinrich (D-NM), presidente del Comité Económico Mixto del Congreso de EE. UU. (Joint Economic Committee, JEC), publicó un informe escrito por el personal demócrata, que concluye que las inundaciones en los Estados Unidos causan anualmente daños por valor de entre $179.8 y $496.0 mil millones--un número mucho más alto que las estimaciones existentes, y uno que está aumentando debido a los impactos del cambio climático.

JEC Chairman Heinrich: “Our Economy Continues to Grow and Families are Feeling the Benefits”
“Our economy continues to grow and families are feeling the benefits. Because of Democrats’ policies, we’ve seen 41 months of record job growth. Wage growth is outpacing inflation and prices are coming down."
"New Mexico is at the highest risk of being exploited by private equity firms. From lowering the quality of health care to cutting wages for workers, these firms have prioritized lining the pockets of their executives over the interest of New Mexicans. That needs to end."
New Mexico is the most vulnerable U.S. state in terms of susceptibility to predatory investment practices. That’s one of the conclusions of a report released this morning by the Joint Economic Committee, which is chaired by New Mexico senator Martin Heinrich.
“The Fed has made clear it needs confirmation that inflation is tamed before cutting interest rates. Here it is. Inflation is cooling, gas prices are falling, and the job market is stable. But families across the country aren’t feeling the impact of this yet.
"The data is crystal clear: abortion bans strip women of their fundamental freedom to choose, put women’s lives at risk, and pose serious consequences for our economy. We can’t let that trend continue."
“The 41 consecutive months of job growth we’ve seen are delivering a strong, stable economy that families across the country can benefit from. In nearly every state, wages have outpaced inflation since 2021. We are on the right track, especially as we continue the work of further lowering costs."
The numbers do not lie: Democrats are putting money back into the pockets of families across the country,” said Chairman Martin Heinrich. “The economy is stable, grocery prices are falling, and wages are increasing. That’s not happening because of luck. It’s because we are enacting policies that lower costs and boost wages while ensuring our economy works for everyone."
