I think my good friends on the left don't realize the cost of DEI is borne by the businesses in this country now more than ever when they are paying double and triple for gas and have supply chain shortages, interest rates at a 40-year high, and inflation that we have never seen the likes of. We have seen what DEI does in the military. The military is down 25 to 30 percent. If you want a definition, define for me the pronouns ``they'' and ``them.'' If you are referring to your fellow coworkers as ``they'' and ``them,'' does that make sense? No, that is the stupidest, craziest idea to even entertain. People are trying to put food on the table, trying to protect their loved ones, and you are really promoting this with a price tag? You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves for doing this at a time when America is struggling like never before. It has a price tag to it, and to even have to discuss this is really unbelievable in today's world. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Norman). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes appeared to have it.
