Uncle Sam gets away with it because Washington plays with its own set of rules. And no matter how you roll the dice, Washington-opoly is a losing game for taxpayers.

The American people should not be forced to continue writing a blank check for pet projects that keep costing more but never seem to be completed.

For too long, taxpayers have been taken for a ride by budget-busting boondoggles.

Well, we all are going to die.

I will continue working with the Trump administration to put a stop to the splashy spending of the Biden years.

Bureaucrats might think wasting millions is a drop in the bucket, but I am sick and tired of taxpayers getting tossed in the deep end by Washington.

Biden’s multi-billion-dollar EV fleet for the USPS is lost in the mail and more than $1 billion is postmarked to order more.

Washington hasn’t learned any lessons from COVID-19.

While we celebrate this long overdue win today, the fight is not over, and I will continue working to ensure that not a single tax dollar is wasted boosting the research of our adversaries or on conducting cruel and unethical experiments…

It is insane that I’ve had to fight for years to stop funding foreign adversaries’ labs and shady experiments by Chinese scientists with American defense dollars.

This is a major step in bringing supply chains home, boosting domestic manufacturing, and ending our reliance on foreign adversaries for critical goods.

I am thrilled to see my Critical Infrastructure Manufacturing Feasibility Act closer to becoming law

Well, we all are going to die. For heaven’s sakes.

I am confident that we get the bill done. Is it by the Fourth of July? Maybe.

Well, we are all going to die

I made an incorrect assumption that everyone in the auditorium understood that yes, we are all going to perish from this Earth.

Well, we all are going to die.

Well, we all are going to die, so …

We are going to focus on those that are most vulnerable. Those that meet the eligibility requirements for Medicaid, we will protect. We will protect them.

Well, we all are going to die.

Well, we all are going to die. So, for heaven’s sakes.

Well, we all are going to die anyway.

So I apologize, and I’m really, really glad that I did not have to bring up the subject of the tooth fairy as well.

I made an incorrect assumption that everyone in the auditorium understood that, yes, we are all going to perish from this Earth.

Those that meet the eligibility requirements for Medicaid we will protect.
