U.S. Rep. Mary Miller (R-Danville) has questioned the negative impact President Joe Biden's  proposed Building Back Better strategy could have on the nation's recovering economy.

Miller took to Twitter earlier this month where she spoke out about the supply chain dilemma and inflation.

"Prices keep going up, shelves are empty, the government is forcing companies to fire people and everyone is losing hope. Is this 'Building Back Better?,'" Miller wrote in an Oct. 13 tweet.

This isn't the first time Miller has been critical of the Biden Administration's plans. Back in June, she questioned Education Secretary Miguel Cardona about guidance the U.S. Department of Education released on the treatment of transgender athletes in schools, according to the Chambana Sun

"Mr. Secretary, I'm truly shocked at your position on these issues. While I have nothing but sympathy for those who struggle with gender confusion, instead of offering kids help, your department is planning to punish schools who attempt to protect girls' privacy and support female athletics," Miller said during an Education and Labor Committee hearing, according to the Chambana Sun.  "Our school administration and teachers have better things to do than to enforce the Biden administration's extreme gender ideology."

During the spring, Miller said she was "blown away" by Gage Atteberry's artwork. The 17-year-old Carmi, Illinois, teenager won the Congressional Art Competition, according to SE Illinois News

"Gage's artwork is magnificent and extraordinarily detailed. To then hear the story & inspiration behind his work, made the artwork and detail all the more spectacular," Miller said, SE Illinois News reported. "It is no surprise that the judges chose Gage's impressive piece to win."

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) joined Miller for a fundraiser this summer.

Greene said her visit to Miller's district was the first trip she made to support a colleague, South Cook News reported.

Greene noted that Miller needed support from her constituents because as patriots "we aren't the popular girls in Washington," according to South Cook News.
