Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I believe an additional speaker is coming. While we are waiting, Mr. Speaker, I want to point to this. If there are citizens who are listening, if we look at some of the government contracts that Mr. Musk is engaged in, we are trying to make this as complete as we can. For example, NASA is one of the largest contracts that he personally has. Look at this number, $11.8 billion with NASA. Can you imagine how many subcontractors there are on that job? That is just one connection. Then, we look over to the U.S. Department of Defense, and that is $3.6 billion. These are enormous contracts. I have companies in my district that do contract with the government. They don't have contracts that size. We look at the Department of Commerce, $1.9 million. Mr. Musk has a contract there. The Department of Veterans Affairs is an interesting one, $463,000. I am not sure what that is for. The Department of State is $440,000. You can do a lot with $440,000. There is a lot of information at the State Department. What is that contract for? Then, we have a whole series at other agencies. We know it is well over a million dollars. We can't even track how much it is. This is an enormous amount of money. Even General Dynamics and some of our large corporations, I don't think, have this kind of reach. Mr. Speaker, apparently, we don't have any final speakers. I thank the Speaker and all those who are listening for their indulgence.…”
