“I thank my good friend, the vice chair, for hosting this Special Order with me here tonight. I appreciate you and others standing here to highlight House Republicans' wins and to advocate for our conservative values. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to discuss the problems America is facing and what Congress must do to get this country back on track. Our grandchildren deserve to live in a country that still stands for freedom, and I serve in Congress to work toward building that future. Freedom tomorrow means upholding the constitutional rights of all Americans today. That is the lens through which I view my job in Congress and the measuring stick I use for every piece of legislation I consider. I have highlighted the path forward in my four-part commitment to the big first and House Republicans' commitment to Americans. Number one, Congress needs to create an economy that is strong. According to the congressional budget report, America is $33.5 trillion in debt, and the Federal Government is deficit spending more than $1 trillion every year. Our energy independence has eroded, small businesses are laboring under burdensome regulations and taxes, and rampant inflation is a tax on everyone. We need to end Washington's spending addiction by balancing the budget, growing the economy, curbing inflation, and decreasing Federal spending. We need to cut red tape and burdensome regulations for agriculture producers, businessowners, and for all Americans.…”
