Does the gentleman agree, when we had the previous administration putting America first, does the gentleman agree that our economic situation and job situation and price of goods and services situation was far better and that small businesses were thriving versus today when small businesses can't hire anybody? Does the gentleman agree that commodities--gasoline, wood, housing supplies--were cheaper and more affordable, and today they are now skyrocketing through the roof after $6 trillion of spending? Does the gentleman agree that the border was becoming secure under an America First agenda, and now it is wide open and being abused?

Does the gentleman agree that all of these are stark contrasts?
