Money and resources apparently an unlimited supply of dollars that we can continue to print while devastating our economy devastating the american dollar and transforming our society by encouraging americans to believe that there’s a free lunch and there ain’t no free lunch my wife is the product of a single mom
Growing up in texas her mom worked multiple jobs to send her to college she worked hard to be able to go to college she left with 70 something thousand dollars of student loans despite going to two top public universities in the state of texas and she’s not asking for her loans to
Get repaid because she went there with a free will she went there and made a choice she could have chosen a different path she chose to take the debt i did the same thing when i went to law school the university of texas i might not have chosen to go to law
School if the loans hadn’t been available and that might be fine what’s the fundamental problem why has the cost of education skyrocketed in my lifetime at an inflation rate multiple times over virtually every other product and service in this country except for health care why is it up something like 3 000
Is it perhaps because we’re subsidizing the holy heck out of it just thinking perhaps that there might be a correlation to the availability massive widespread availability of subsidized student loans the massive subsidization of k-12 education higher ed do we think there might be a correlation to why the costs have skyrocketed so much
But no no no my colleagues on the other side of the aisle now walk in here and say oh oh you know we don’t want to uh you know we’re not the party of big spenders we got a chart here with 1.7 trillion dollars on it with another chart saying cancel student debt
Who’s paying for that does anybody in this body give a rat’s rear end about who’s paying for anything at all no oh no then they’ll come out here and say three trillion dollars of tax cuts they don’t care about economic growth and opportunity but fine why don’t we actually have a
Conversation about spending and taxes no no we don’t do that we just spend money we don’t have that’s what we did today in the continuing resolution to keep this government running oh my gosh panic ensues if you dare question whether or not the government must be funded saturday morning at 1201 in the
Morning what will the american people do how will they function if the united states house of free stuff isn’t doling out free stuff no one’s in this chamber of course just reminding the american people how this place doesn’t work we’re now on five and a half straight
Years of no amendments being offered on the floor of this august chamber i’d just like to remind the american people every once in a while that what they saw about how bill it becomes a law is a complete fraud see there’s a handful of people who get
Into a room and they decide what you’re going to vote on and the speaker knows it’s true and my colleagues on the other side of the aisle know it’s true and my colleagues on this side of the aisle know it’s true because they did it when they were in
The majority just as much as my colleagues on the other side of the aisle did it when they were in the majority we get a massive bill dropped on our desk and we say take it or leave it go offer an amendment rules they say never taken never accepted
Always pre-chosen always pre-gamed out this is deliberation and debate this is the constitutional order what value is there for an election certificate if you can’t use it you come to the floor and you want an offered amendment in good faith to try to make a piece of legislation better
And you can’t do it we got 2 4 six eight 10 12 people max who decide everything that goes on in this chamber in all of their infinite wisdom and then we come down and we look at the board and it’s party line votes and then it’s
Walk out on the steps and go give a speech and go to the press and go on twitter and go on facebook and go talk about why you’re voting no or yes that’s what we’re relegated to in the united states house of free stuff but today we just voted to extend the
Conte the funding of government with a continuing resolution which is going to barrel us towards trillion dollar deficit this year give or take who knows does it matter does anybody know what the difference is between a trillion or 1.2 trillion does anybody know the difference between 29
Trillion dollars of debt or 30 trillion dollars of debt nobody knows or cares in this chamber literally not a lick we never talk about it and then each side comes down on the floor and offers more spending for whatever their priority is defense non-defense mandatory spending non-mandatory spending if the unbelievably terrible
Circumstance occurred at friday night at midnight of this government daring to pause do the american people know that about 82 percent of it is on autopilot with mandatory spending i mean does that does that matter when you walk out and a gaggle reporters come up oh with baited breath oh no
There might be a government shutdown it always gets paid back 82 percent of it keeps running and there’s never a serious debate about what’s actually happening here in the united states of america we never actually have we never sit down like a family or a small business roll our sleeves up and
Decide how to spend money you imagine if we actually had to adhere to a budget like any business or american family and we actually had to sit down madam speaker at that table and not leave this chamber until we said our budget is three trillion dollars or four trillion whatever it is
Here’s our income here’s what we can spend that’s all we can do let’s figure out our priorities well we disagree i don’t you know do you want to fund nea do you want to fund the department of education xyz do you want to fund the military do you want to fund
Specific b-52 bombers do you want to fund health care do you want to fund border security make a choice we never make a choice ever both parties by the way both leaders we never make a choice all we do is preen and posture and come down here with massive bills
That have some of our priorities depending on who’s in the majority that’s it and again we’re relegated to being the united states house of free stuff you got to call it free stuff because we’re just printing the money to do the stuff we’re down here talking about oh we got
To cancel the student debt well man wouldn’t that be lovely who cares about the people who’ve already worked hard their whole lives to pay off their student loans whether they be black brown white male female who cares they’ve worked their whole life they paid off their student loans they did
What they were supposed to do or they’re in the middle of paying off their student loans oh no let’s just come down here one of my colleagues just said fifty thousand dollars president biden he just picked that number out of the air fifty thousand dollars of free stuff here you go
Somebody else chose not to go to college somebody else started a business worked hard borrowed money to run a business guess what that money also had interest to my colleague from michigan who was down here talking about oh the pain of interest as if it’s not as old as time as if it’s
Not biblical to say hey i don’t have the money to do something i would like to have the money to do something how might i get the money to do something i don’t know one get a job and earn the money save the money two ask for it from somebody who loves you
Three borrow it okay now what do you do with that go do something with it make a choice start a business start a lemonade stand go to college if you want but oh no let’s just go pay off 1.7 trillion dollars a debt doesn’t matter
If you went to school and got a degree in sociology or gender studies and you’re floating around and you’re trying to figure out what you’re going to do with your life oh no let’s pay off that 140 000. there ain’t no free lunch but but we we live in this fiction
That we can just keep printing money and the horrors of printing the money is not just that we have 30 trillion dollars of debt it’s not just that we have rampant inflation it’s not just that we’re undermining our dollar it’s not just that we’re handing over power
To china and every other country around the world to kick our rear ends it’s that we’re funding a government to do things to us to interfere with us we’re funding an fbi to target parents for daring to question the wisdom of school boards around this country and
People say oh that’s not true you must be embellishing it’s not true we just had hearings with the attorney general of the united states we just saw memoranda making it very clear that the fbi is targeting parents we’re funding that for all americans out there watching this all 12 of you
We’re funding that we’re taking dollars we’re borrowing dollars spending money we don’t have and we’re taking those dollars and we’re funding an fbi to target parents we’re taking dollars and we’re ta we’re taking away dollars from police departments and federal dollars going in and funding programs allegedly to take the place of police
And then wondering why department stores are getting looted and then you’ve got the white house press secretary today literally at the podium saying that’s the fault of the pandemic all of the looting we’re not talking about somebody breaking into a grocery store to buy loaf of bread we’re talking about people swarming a
Department store and taking gucci bags oh no let’s not enforce the law let’s not enforce the rule of law let’s blame it on the pandemic let’s blame border patrol for whipping migrants which was demonstrably and totally and clearly false there is no shame coming from the press secretary’s office of the white house
No lie that won’t easily slip out about what’s actually going on like border patrol agents whipping migrants no apology all of those border patrol agents down there on the front lines dealing with covet dealing with being outmanned out gone dealing with cartels no apology here we sit
In the united states house of free stuff funding the department of homeland security not to secure the homeland funding the department of education not to educate our kids other than to indoctrinate them to hate our country and to believe that they’re racist for the color of their skin
700 billion dollars for a department of defense to now run climate training and to focus on chief diversity officers in the department of defense rather than focusing on i don’t know blowing stuff up and killing people which is what the department of defense formerly known as the department of war
Is actually supposed to do 11 billion dollars for an internal revenue service that took a record four trillion dollars from the americans last fiscal year nine billion dollars for an epa that is destroying american energy through regulation pushing a radical climate agenda none of which by the way is actually
Going to drive down co2 production which we’ve been doing with clean burning american natural gas over the last decade and today we passed this continuing resolution in the united states house of free stuff that rack up another trillion dollars of debt continuing to fund agencies to carry out their tyrannical activities in particular
To carry out vaccine mandates on the american people that are getting slapped down one by one by courts across this country because of course the president of the united states doesn’t have the authority or the power to mandate that an american citizen go into a doctor’s office and
Get a needle jabbed in their arm he doesn’t have that power and the united states house of free stuff here allegedly representing the people is supposed to actually care enough about representing those people to stand here as a bulwark holding a line against an authoritarian president of the united states against a president
Carrying out executive overreach that’s what we see happening he’s being slapped down left and right by the courts now look i don’t believe in wearing a partisan hat when we’re talking about standing up for the constitution standing up for article one branch of the federal government i introduced legislation when the
Previous president republican president trump was in office called the article one act to take away powers from the president with respect to emergency powers being used i did so frankly in the wake of the use of dollars for border fencing and wall construction which i supported which was
Important which was a response to an emergency and by the way was working but it was important for us to start laying out a foundation for protecting article one the united states congress and today we passed a continuing resolution that we sent over to the united states senate
And we never had a vote in this body about the vaccine mandates that are being slapped down in courts across this country for being unlawful unconstitutional tyrannical overreach by the executive branch of the united states never in our history have we had federal mandates applying across the country to the american citizens
That they must be vaccinated they have been local decisions local schools local counties in states into specific responses to highly communicable diseases that they knew might be communicable and be pulled back by a vaccine and after many years of study with massive numbers of exemptions and protections for individual liberty and choice
That is the history of how we have handled it in a federalist state republic not a decision by a president or frankly probably more likely the president’s advisers that the american people must be vaccinated that a small business or a business of any size must vaccinate their employees
People act like well well it’s no big deal i want to direct my remarks here to my republican colleagues my republican colleagues who today were perfectly happy to vote no on this cr yes i’ll go home and i’ll give a speech i voted no on this cr i voted no because
This continuing resolution had these terrible provisions in it and yes this continuing resolution had vaccine mandate funding uh funding the department of of labor and funding funding osha and funding the department of defense to carry out these mandates i voted no don’t you know so what
Who cares if you voted no you vote no and you give a speech pat yourself on the back good for you did you do anything to go stand with any of the senators who had a chance to actually do something with this with the senators over there right now
Having a debate and trying to force a vote on an amendment to prevent the tyrannical application of vaccine mandates did my colleagues say let’s go round up and go over and stand alongside mike lee or do they hide behind the article three judiciary did they hide behind the courts and say
Well let’s let the court sort it out no that’s exactly what they did secure the blessings of liberty and the constitution indeed by the supposed primary branch of government and these have real consequences for real americans real lives hospitals in massachusetts are already limiting elective procedures due a
Critical staffing shortage do we care are we concerned about that the new york governor issued an executive order that postponed elective surgeries in order to deal with the staffing shortage do we care are we concerned the largest children’s hospital in wisconsin is struggling to treat victims of the blm
Uh uh extremists who rammed his car through the waukesha christmas parade do we care dear friend of mine suffering from multiple sclerosis teaching at a university she’s being told she may not be able to continue teaching because she believes in consultation with her doctor that it is in her best interest
Not to be vaccinated at this time she should have the right and the ability to choose to do that for her and her family and her interest without coercion from an overextended federal government under an unlawful and unconstitutional mandate by the president of the united states and this body the congress of the
United states should do its article one job and stand up in defense of her and every other american who is facing losing their job at thanksgiving and christmas or being discharged from the military of the united states that they proudly serve because they believe in their interest
In their own personal safety their own health interest that they should be the one to choose not a far away president we structured this government specifically not to do this we structured this government with federalism and separation of powers specifically specifically to avoid having a king
That man on the painting over on this wall in this house chamber the first president of the united states turn down being a king turn down the monarchy turn down a third term because the founders knew why that mattered the founders knew why separating powers and limiting powers mattered because they saw and
Foresaw exactly what we’re seeing today in this country and across the world we’re in austria and germany and australia and places around the world we see mandates forcing people to be in their homes and not go out and not engage in society because they’re not vaccine it’s absurd
This country is built on a bedrock of liberty and protecting liberty and securing the blessings of liberty and this president is stepping on it and the united states congress members of both parties are m.i.a missing in action unwilling to stand up in defense of liberty while patting themselves on the
Back for voting no on a continuing resolution and then kicking it over to the senate for one man to stand on the floor of the united states senate senator mike lee daring to say we should have a vote on an amendment an amendment that says we shouldn’t have the vaccine mandates
God bless mike lee for doing that i hope he holds to his guns and no i’m not going to freak out or panic if saturday at 1205 in the morning rolls around and oh no we haven’t gotten that funding done that funding by the way that’s racking up as i said before
Another trillion dollars of debt the united states house of free stuff father called me up in tears because his 13-year army veteran son is likely going to be discharged because he believes based on his conversation with his doctors that it is not in his interest to get the vaccination
Millions of americans who know they have natural immunity who have been ignored who’ve been absolutely ignored because the leaders of our national health organizations and agencies aren’t actually focusing on natural immunity we haven’t had a study on natural immunity of any consequence out of our leaders we’ve had to rely on israel and
The uk and other places and private entities but all of these millions of americans who have natural immunity are being told sorry you must still go get a needle stuck in your arm in order to have a job in what world is this the land of the free
It is not and in what world are the people in this chamber who are supposed to represent the people of the united states how are they doing their job in the article one branch of our federal government if they’re not standing up for those people those people who are going about their
Life making a decision of their interest and by the way as if this matters to me a whole lot that even the experts so-called heading up our national health agencies and organizations acknowledge that if you’re vaccinated you still spread the daggum virus it literally makes no sense we’re killing people
We’re restraining and restricting therapeutics that can actually help people we belittle people who are working in consultation with doctors to find ways to solve the problem if they happen to get the virus whether they’ve been vaccinated or not by the way and we’re mandating people get the vaccination
Irrespective of whether they had the virus and have natural immunity and for months i’ve been hearing about oh they laugh off natural immunity and now suddenly you start to hear oh bow down to the altar of all things dr fauci that he suddenly said oh yeah in natural
Immunity that’s kind of a real thing no kidding what world do you live in the world of washingtonian magazine and propping your feet up with sunglasses and getting cool pictures and throwing baseball games out of games i had a young woman who’s nine months pregnant remember all the front-line workers
Everybody was celebrating a year ago she’s one of them she’s a nurse i saw all these people standing up at games people in this chamber going around praising the front-line workers well good we should have been praising the front-line workers who are out there in an unknown virus showing up and
Helping those who are sick but suddenly now if you’re one of those front-line workers and for your own health and well-being you decide you don’t believe you should be vaccinated you might have natural immunity maybe you’ve got an underlying condition and you choose not to then this young
Lady a texan who’s nine months pregnant is losing her job in direct response to the president’s unlawful and unconstitutional mandates let’s talk about those mandates for a minute the osha mandate when the president goes in and tells businesses across this country you must get your employees vaccinated
Through osha rulings and fines this body just voted to increase the osha fines something like 700 percent i think 900 percent we just did that when we passed the so-called bbb bill that’s gonna destroy america with a whole bunch of more free stuff two trillion dollars of unpaid nonsense
Oh no don’t worry it’s paid for cbo said so garbage absolute pure garbage course is not paid for it was games american people know all this it’s how this body works nobody here is serious about actually operating within the bounds of normalcy like you would in a business or in your
Home because you don’t care there’s no consequence there’s literally no consequence to spending money we don’t have to printing money but that’s what we do and so we just voted to increase fines to osha now those fines osha can go target businesses well what happened now that’s been consolidated u.s
District judge for the eastern district of missouri granted a preliminary injunction on november 29th for 10 states brought forth a november 10 lawsuit by state ag’s on december 1st in a similar ruling louisiana western district u.s judge terry dottie issued a nationwide injunction to the cms mandate a separate mandate the cms mandate
Sorry i mixed these up the osha mandate a panel of judges with the fifth circuit court of appeals issued an order staying enforcement and implementation of the osha mandate now back to the cms mandate matt schlepp the u.s district judge for the eastern district of missouri granted a
Preliminary injunction for 10 states and on december 1st in a summer ruling is a nationwide injunction on the cms mandates these are the mandates that are shutting down hospitals and nurses and doctors from carrying out their job my colleagues on the other side of the aisle don’t care
And i know they don’t care because they just passed a continuing resolution continuing to fund the mandates of a tyrannical executive tyrannical executive branch without holding him accountable i promise you if that were a republican president they would be outraged at these mandates but my colleagues on this side of the aisle
Think voting no and walking out to go to dinner is perfectly fine because that’s what’s going on here they’re not over in the senate backing up mike lee and they’re not here talking federal workers mandate federal contractors mandate november 30th u.s district judge gregory van tatinov of the eastern district of kentucky issued
A preliminary injunction halting the government’s enforcement of the federal contractor vaccine mandate which by the way is the mandate that’s impacting universities which is causing my friend with ms to possibly or probably lose her teaching job veterans active duty military front line health workers university teachers professors visiting professors
People across this country in private business now hopefully the courts will strike this down but since when is it the job of the article one congress to punt to the courts and say well i hope you do it do we care about the power of the purse
Do we care of bureaucrats or targeting american citizens saying you must get the needle in your arm and there’s no science indicating in any way shape or form that those mandates are solving any problem at all but rather causing problems over 80 percent of over 12 year old
American people have gotten one shot of the vaccine 99 percent or something close to it of people over 65. we’re not even a year in to the broad rollout of the vaccines this blows way past the polio epidemic my dad had polio i’m well versed in the impact of the polio epidemic
It didn’t roll out nearly this fast it was targeted at kids not people over 65. any mandates were left to school districts and it took them a while to get there and this was a vaccine they’ve been worked on for years with a significant amount of knowledge
And a different kind of virus by the way not a coronavirus a 21 year old nursing assistant in crawfordsville indiana worked 60-hour weeks throughout the pandemic she’s facing termination do we care does the indiana delegation care either side of the aisle i’d like to know is the indiana delegation over alongside
Mike lee fighting to prevent the funding of the government bureaucrats that are going to enforce that mandate on becca pitts jen peters a 39 year old san diego maternity nurse was forced to resign from her position after not getting vaccinated recently met with heart surgeons that fly around the country saving lives
Through heart surgeries they came in they do pro bono work they do a lot of volunteer work they fly all over the world they’ve been providers for roughly three decades and if the cms mandates stay in place they are no longer going to be able to
Save lives they will have to shut down are we fine with that is that okay dozens of my constituents in the military have contacted me about this vaccine mandate i represent thousands like many of us do but i represent san antonio a heavy population of veterans and of active duty military
People call me in tears because it was their dream to serve their country and wear the uniform of the united states and they’re being told they must get the jab or they’ll be discharged now i’m not talking about the ability of a commander of a submarine going off for a nine-month
Tour and saying okay sorry i’m going to make sure everybody in that submarine is vaccinated okay do you got to discharge the guy or gal or can you say you know what we’re going to relocate you and leave you able to serve but while this vaccine or while this virus is going around
We’re going to we’re going to require the comm the commander of the submarine to be able to make that decision okay that’s a reasonable outcome discharging under current law dishonorably by the way members of the united states military for not wanting to get the vaccine for whatever reason they believe is in their
Interest with young men in particular having concerns about the myocarditis and the heart issues and we’re going to say sorry too bad you get discharged this body just funded the dod and the government that is forcing those people to be discharged instead of continuing to carry out their
Service to this country and this body should be ashamed of it a lot of people in this town seem to have forgotten that the american people are not our subjects they are our fellow citizens and we owe them the duty of representing them they are our neighbors our relatives our friends
The people are sovereign in this country not the president george washington turned that down the founders rejected that structure and yet this body which was supposed to be a check against an overbearing executive acting as a monarch refuses to check the executive cdc estimates that there have been 146 million infections
Suggesting that nearly half the united states has natural immunity the first u.s omicron patient was fully vaccinated and had mild symptoms one study found the protective effect of the vaccine dwindles alarmingly at three months after the second shot hence the boosters people are now saying that maybe we made a mistake having
The first two shots of the vaccine happen right next to each other and it reduced the effectiveness well lo and behold hard to believe when you’re rushing and reaction to a virus that you might make an error financial institutions today are putting out reports saying their concern isn’t about the omicron
Variant but rather government’s reaction to it well of course it is one of the first doctors to discover the variant south africa said quote most of the patients are seeing very very mild symptoms we’ve been able to treat these patients conservatively at home over on the 626th day on the 626th day
Into 15 days to slow the spread we have had enough the american people have had enough of being lied to and told what to do by a tyrannical federal government and so-called experts that we cannot and should not trust this continuing resolution that we passed today was considered under a closed rule
As i said earlier no chance for amending it i offered an amendment upstairs rejected we don’t want to have a debate on vaccine mandates why would we want to do that my colleagues i assume would not like to take a vote on a vaccine mandate funding repeal
Otherwise why not have the vote why not have the debate you know the more and more that we turn over the decision-making to a small group of people in this body and a small group of people in the senate and a couple of people at the other end of pennsylvania avenue
The more and more this republic is getting ripped apart thread by threat and it is happening no matter who is in the white house and no matter who is in charge of this body if we do not restore debate on this floor of this body and in the senate
Greatest deliberative body in the world come on when was the last time you saw any great debate or deliberation in that body or this one you don’t we all know it nobody cares because all we’re going to do is drop another 2 000 page bill somebody’s going to offer a
Motion to recommit boy that’ll light things on fire a previous question oh man at the bars around town they’re talking about you see that previous question do you see that mtr when are we going to represent the people again when is this institution going to actually stand up and do the hard part
Of representation we don’t govern we use that term a lot we don’t govern we represent that’s what we’re supposed to do in a republic next week we’re going to turn to the national defense authorization act and we’re going to if the senate doesn’t make any additional modifications we’re going to have a
Another version of the ndaa the national defense authorization act sent over to this chamber for us to vote on again and in that legislation there are a number of problematic provisions there’s no accountability for the failed exit from afghanistan the 13 marines that died the failed
Drone strike that led to the killing of 10 people including seven children no accountability no accountability for the 85 billion dollars of assets left behind afghanistan that were just being used in a parade by our enemies by the taliban no accountability no re got a legislation that requires the
Secretary of defense to submit to congress their plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and praises the intergovernmental panel on climate change well praise the lord our department of defense is focused on the really important stuff as china is doubling and tripling and quadrupling their navy and ramping up their military
Prowess and shooting missiles around the earth in low orbit hitting their targets yeah let’s focus on diversity yeah that’ll get them at nda requires the dod to hire and train gender advisors boy that’ll send the chinese packing and yes the national defense authorization act will for the first
Time in the history of this country require women girls 18 years and older to register for selective service to register to be eligible to the draft for the draft my daughter is 10 years old the infinite wisdom of this body is going to require that my daughter
Be forced to register for the draft we want to have a debate about ending the draft i’m happy to do it let’s offer the bill let’s have a debate and decide if we need a draft and i think most people in this body would probably vote the draft down
But that’s not what we’re going to do because my colleagues on the other side of the aisle and frankly the retreat by my colleagues on my side of the aisle from such touchy issues they want to make a statement they want to make a statement about so-called equity
And they want to use my daughter to make that statement they want to make your daughter america part of that statement and if you’re one of the thousands of people across this country who’ve been reaching out to my office enraged because this body with no debate no amendment no vote on the substance
Is going to adopt the national defense authorization act for the first time in history will require your daughter your sister your mom your wife to register for the draft well don’t worry i’m going to keep fighting it and i’m not going to retreat and i’m not going to run away from some
Pollster coming in saying well i don’t know not sure how people feel about it i know how people feel about it how they feel about it in my district i know they feel about it in my kid’s school in my communities i know the people who stop me in the
Airport and say thank you for standing up for some sort of common sense about how we should actually function as a society we spent 36 million dollars speaking of the united states house of free stuff we spent 36 million dollars for a study to determine whether single-sex units
Performed better or worse than mixed sex units what do you think you found you could be blown away by this piece of information that the single-sex male units performed better we don’t want to have that talk my colleagues don’t want to have that debate but i’m going to keep having that debate
And whatever they do with the ndaa if the senate doesn’t have the backbone if my republican colleagues in the united states senate won’t stand up for my daughter our daughters i’ll keep calling them out every single one of them and i’ll call it every one of my colleagues in this body
And i sure as heck will not ever vote for a single one of them for any office if they’re going to make my daughter eligible for the draft this is not the way we should do things have a debate offer data have amendments have the courage to have straight up or down votes
On subjects rather than mega bills cooked up in back rooms so people can go preen and posture in front of cameras outside on the steps no matter who’s in charge of this body restore this body and don’t continue to operate as the united states house of free stuff doling
Out dollar after dollar printing money to create programs that we can’t even afford and to fundamentally alter and transform this society into one that is expectant from government rather than serving themselves and their fellow man and their communities we are destroying the core of this great country by empowering government and doing so
Knowing full well we don’t have the dollars of the resources to do it knowing full well that we’re ripping out the soul of people by taking away the value of work and destroying family units destroying the public education system by turning them into political corruption entities the veil having been
Lifted now after covet has exposed so much of that corruption what we just saw in loudoun county virginia what we just saw unfold in the commonwealth of the virginia people are seeing the corruption that flows from the dollars that flow from this town without any responsibility and again that is not a partisan
Statement both sides are equally guilty of walking into this chamber and writing checks they can’t cash and if we don’t stop it this country will not survive this country will not make it we will not keep the republic if we keep spending money we don’t have
If we keep turning over power to a small group of individuals in this chamber the other chamber the other end of pennsylvania avenue and oh by the way the courts to make decisions rather than the people’s representatives it is time adam speaker for this body to function again
And it’s time for us to do it without regard to who is in the other who’s in the other end of pennsylvania avenue in the white house we have a duty in article one to use the power of the purse responsibly to stand up for the people to defend the
People to stop the encroachment in their lives by unelected bureaucrats or a president using power that is now already in three different courts been found to be unconstitutionally and unlawfully executed against the people while they lose their jobs lose their livelihoods destroy their lives because they want to make a decision that they
Believe is in the interest of them and their
