The United States of America has generated more prosperity than every other nation in history combined. That is because our divinely inspired system of government prioritizes individual rights through a republic that has representation, employs market principles and property rights, and backs it up with rule of law. The sponsors of today's legislation are using a pandemic as an excuse to propose spending $3 trillion on policies that reverse or undermine all three. Now, we all know it is not going to become law. Instead, it is part of a strategy to set the initial negotiation bar so outrageously to the left that the end negotiated result would transform our Republic to a socialist remotely governed Republic. When I disagree with legislation content, I often consider compromise. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
