Thank you for that expertise. You sound like a former Secretary of Revenue or something from the State of Pennsylvania. As you pointed out, my friend, you don't have to be an economist to figure this out. Every freshman economics student knows if you keep printing money and dropping it into the economy, you are going to cause inflation. This is not rocket science, but you know what? The President of the United States apparently doesn't get it. Madam Speaker, I am delighted next to yield to the good doctor from Texas (Mr. Babin).
