“I appreciate the gentleman from California. I will remind him that his State government, yes, indeed, has already received $43 billion in taxpayer bailouts and will receive another $42 billion in taxpayer bailouts if this bill passes. But let's talk about California. This is the State that has some of the most stringent lockdowns in the entire country. In fact, their lockdowns are so significant that more than 16,500 small businesses will never open their doors again. That is government that believes that it is okay to deny you to go to your house of worship and to eat out in an outdoor restaurant, but you can go to a strip club or get a tattoo. That is California. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from the great State of Georgia (Mrs. Greene), a small businessowner who proudly represents the people of the 14th Congressional District.”
