Political Quotes

“I thank the gentleman for yielding. Democrats' spending bill is not about building back better, it is about building up a bureaucracy that will expand the reach of the Federal Government, especially over education. This bill will impose Federal control over pre-K, limit parental choice, increase the cost of childcare, punish job creators, reward far-left special interests, and deepen our debt crisis. This bill recklessly sets aside $400 billion for universal pre-K and childcare but, in reality, there is no telling how much this provision will cost the American people. Subsidizing the childcare of wealthy families isn't building back better, it is building back bankrupt. This legislation is wrong for our country and wrong for our children. Education is best when run locally and when parents are involved. The bill also includes dangerous provisions from the PRO Union Bosses Act, which kneecap business owners while putting a target on job creators' backs with outrageously inflated Labor Department fines. Democrats keep saying this legislation is transformational. Well, let me tell them something: The American people do not want this country to be transformed in the way they want to transform it. It is time to make protecting the future of this Nation, our children, a priority, not empowering teachers unions, burdening job creators, or centralizing control in the hands of unelected, unaccountable Washington bureaucrats.”
