Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to address a crisis hurting every household in America: skyrocketing prices. If you listen to the Biden administration, they will tell you that this is a ``high-class problem.'' This is a lie propagated by those who have never had to do the mental math at the grocery store to make sure the amount in their cart does not exceed the cash in their wallet. For Democrat leaders, paying 42 percent more at the pump isn't a problem. I suppose the price of gas isn't a concern if you are riding government-funded high-speed rail in Silicon Valley. More than 90 percent of my constituents reported that rising prices are impacting their household budgets. Inflation is destroying Americans' ability to save for retirement, buy a home, or build wealth. This isn't a tax on the rich. It is an enormous burden for working Americans. It is not too late to change course. I have introduced legislation to increase the transparency in government spending so that lawmakers will be forced to answer for reckless spending sprees. Moreover, my Retirement Inflation Protection Act will protect Americans from inflation-driven tax burdens right when they enter retirement. This crisis is already hitting home for millions of Americans. We must act before it financially cripples generations of Americans to come. ____________________”
