In the midst of ongoing debates over federal spending, Rep. Steve Womack voiced his opposition to a proposed budget increase for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). During Thursday’s House Appropriations Committee hearing, Womack raised pointed criticisms at FTC Chair Lina Khan.
“The FTC, with a cavalier attitude, is weighing in on areas that are outside of its authority and deciding on issues through subjective means,” he said.
