Political Quotes

“Mr. Chair, I rise in support of the Perry amendment. The one thing that has become clearly obvious to me, Mr. Chairman, is the fact that my friends on the other side of the aisle, they have no idea how much inflation this administration's policies have created for the American people. That is the perfect reason why we need to support this bill, as amended; if for no other reason, so we can help our friends on the other side of the aisle have some type of measurement so they can see how damaging their policies and their out-of-control spending has been on everyday, average Americans when they go to the grocery store, when they fill up their gas tank, when they try to pay their rents now. My colleague's amendment is a wise one. This bill requires inflation impact assessments to be prepared for the President's executive orders, but as we all know, the executive branch routinely does as little as possible to comply with assessment and reporting requirements Congress imposes on it. This amendment makes sure the executive branch will include in its inflation impact assessments detailed descriptions of the effects the President's executive orders have on inflation, not just back-of-the- envelope sketches. In other words, it makes sure the executive branch will comply with the spirit of the bill, not just its letter. Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on the Perry amendment.”
