Peace through strength is something that many of us believe in. It is the concern over the lack of our economic prowess, the lack of our strength why this amendment is before this body. Again, was there not enough government spending in 2019? Returning back to 2019 pre-COVID spending levels is what this does. It would save us $16 million. Mr. Chair, I encourage my colleagues to put the best, long-term interests of our Nation ahead of short-term policy concerns or policy considerations or parochial considerations. It is the long-term longevity that has to rule the day. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
