Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to draw attention to what has become the new normal here in Washington, D.C. Despite talks of bipartisanship and unity, Democrats have turned to a partisan, top-down, rampant spending style of governing with President Biden's infrastructure vision as the latest example. The fact is that the President's $2.3 trillion infrastructure vision really isn't about infrastructure at all. Only 5 percent is proposed for roads and bridges, and only 2 percent for airways, waterways, and ports. Instead, Democrats have proposed spending over half a trillion dollars on Green New Deal-style programs to fulfill a far left wish list. What is their solution for paying for all of this? Increasing your taxes. The tax hikes to fund this spending spree will only hurt workers and result in lower wages and suppressed economic growth. Madam Speaker, I encourage my friends on the other side of the aisle to stop posturing and work with us on this side of the aisle. Madam Speaker, we are ready to work with you across the aisle on a package that will truly make a difference to my constituents in Arkansas and people across our great Nation. ____________________”
