Political Quotes

“I thank the gentleman from Texas. Mr. Speaker, I think a lot of us go out and actually do our own shopping. And I know now when I go out to shop, I not only look at the front of the box, I look to the back to see what is in it. So we have here the Biden build back better sauce. Here it is. It is flavored with SALT tax, by the way, so don't worry about your sodium content. And trust them. ``It is in there.'' What is in there; 150 new government programs. How about this? This is a great bargain for the hardworking American taxpayer. Now, they're saying it is only going to cost you $1.7 trillion, and only in Washington would they say ``only''. The cost per American, $53,000 apiece; $550 billion for the Green New Deal; $412 billion in small business taxes; $80 billion for those wonderful guys from the IRS that are coming to tear you apart; $7.8 billion on environmental justice; massive electric vehicle subsidies for the very wealthy; government paid leave for high-priced CEOs; subsidies for wealthy families; a SALT tax break for millionaires; and the Tree Equity Program. Who in the world would not buy this package? They will if they turn around and look at the back and understand that it is on sale right now in this House for $4 trillion. Hurry up, American taxpayers, before we run out of money.”
