I thank the gentleman from Missouri for putting forth this amendment. It is common sense. Able-bodied people ought to work. That is the bottom line. There are two things about this program. One is that my colleague on the other side of the…
I thank the gentleman from Illinois for yielding time. This is a commonsense amendment. The bottom line is it is a myth to say that electric vehicles produce no CO<INF>2</INF>. Where do you think the electricity comes from when you plug it…
I thank the gentlewoman from Florida for offering this amendment. My colleague across the aisle read verbatim from an executive order to analyze the effect of climate on migration. What we need is an executive order to examine the effect…
