Blaine Luetkemeyer said "I certainly thank the gentleman from New Jersey for his remarks and reminding us that inflation is a tax as well. I think we need to remember that when we go to the gas pump. Last January I was able to get it for $1.89. On Monday I filled up my tank and it was $3.19. I got nothing more. I got the same amount of gas. The only difference is it was $1 and some higher. Inflation is a tax. I appreciate him reminding us of the work ethic and values that our small business folks display and have to work with every day to make their business work and the effects of mandates. I appreciate his comments. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Keller), who has a great personal story himself. I look forward to his remarks and his concerns about this monstrosity of a bill, socialist reconciliation bill." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
