Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of American families and small businesses in North Carolina who are having to confront not only the pandemic but President Biden's truly disastrous and shortsighted economic policies. Inflation is at a 30-year high. Gas prices are up 42 percent. Hell, even the cost of bacon has gone through the roof. We are hurtling backwards under liberal control, and the fact that Democrats are trying to sell a free $5.5 trillion package as the solution is an embarrassment and a snake oil lie to the American people. Let's be clear. Most liberal elites and progressives in Washington have never run a business. They have never signed both sides of a paycheck, and they have never had to make the heartbreaking decision between feeding their families and keeping their businesses open. At a small business roundtable, one local bakery owner said that crippling inflation, the self-induced labor shortage, and supply chain disruptions have created such a fragile environment that he is one worker away from bankruptcy. This bakery owner even raised his own employee pay by $4 an hour and took a second job to make ends meet, and he still cannot fill job vacancies. ____________________”
