“The Federal Government has a responsibility to help both individuals and businesses through this crisis because, as the government, they shut down the economy. But I do have deep concerns with the way in which we are attempting to go about this. We have already spent an unprecedented amount of money, $3.6 trillion, at an unprecedented rate. Now, we have a monstrosity, and we have yet to have a serious discussion as to how we are going to pay for this massive debt. In this bill--$3 trillion, 1,800 pages, zero input from the minority, from the Senate or the White House, drafted behind closed doors, and just very little time to review it. As ranking member of the Government Operations Subcommittee, I want to focus on the Postal Service. The Postal Service does not need a bailout; they need reform. It needs reform. We have 12 consecutive years of losing money in the Postal Service, and it was not caused by this pandemic. It is a deeper pandemic within the Postal Service. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.”
