Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I saw a political crossword puzzle this week. It asked for a six-letter word to describe President Biden's first year in office. So I thought, divisive? No, that is eight letters. Weak? No, that is four letters. But the word is crises, Madam Speaker. From the crisis raging at our southern border to the economic crisis affecting Arkansans, small businesses, and Americans across the Nation, the Biden administration has continually failed to address these challenges head-on. The border crisis isn't a seasonal problem, as argued. It is the direct result of repealing the Trump-era border policies and replacing them with absolutely nothing until recently. Federal Reserve Chair Powell says, inflation isn't transitory, Madam Speaker. It continues to rise to a 40-year high. Americans are paying more for just about everything from gas to groceries. Under President Trump, we saw increasing real wages. Under President Biden, we are seeing real wages decline, meaning our pay is decreasing when accounting for inflation. Democrats' solution? Continuing to push their constant tax-and- spending spree. We need leadership, Madam Speaker. ____________________”
