Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 8351, the Formula Act. I thank my friend from Nebraska, Mr. Adrian Smith, and Mr. Blumenauer for their leadership on this bill. With families facing record-high inflation, with record-high food and gas prices, the last thing that parents need to worry about is being able to find formula, much less being able then to afford it. H.R. 8351 ensures that families are not covering the cost of additional taxes on formula imported into the United States, and I am pleased with the relief that this bill will provide. But, unfortunately, as has been the mantra of this administration, this crisis exemplifies just another self-inflicted wound that has been the point of the Biden administration. The administration knew about the impending shortage and failed to act to avert the crisis. The incompetence of this administration has real world effects. We are talking about something that is basic sustenance for infants in this country. They need this, and this bill will help bring affordability to parents for their children. Madam Speaker, I thank, again, my colleagues and encourage their support of this legislation.”
