This amendment will strip $79 billion out of the bill. That would have catastrophic effects on our training and readiness. I need to remind Members, we have been at war for two decades, we have worn out everything we have got. We have got to start replacing and modernizing for the future to be able to take on the threats from China and other adversaries. This will set us back on clean-up and environmental remediation of PFAS and other contaminated items. It would put off construction of new military housing, schools, and childcare facilities, and the list goes on. Mr. Speaker, I urge all Members to oppose this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.

It was not a great deal for us. We’ll never see any revenue from that thing, from what people around the bridge tell me, for a long time.

Matter of fact, I think all three of the Democrats who are running for the nomination are out of step already, and it's only gonna get worse. This really will be about crazy versus common sense in the state of Michigan.

I think that the Democratic Party walked away from working and middle-class Americans a decade ago, and in Michigan, people are starting to wake up to this notion that we can't continue to do this and expect our kids to stay.
