“The question seems to be about we have nothing allegedly in the cupboard, nothing to offer. I think there is plenty to offer. How about stop spending money we don't have? How about stop dumping trillions of dollars into the economy, jamming up inflation? How about ending all of the subsidies and all of the Federal expenditures that are undermining the American people's ability to create wealth and create jobs? The gentleman talks about the amount of debt that was increased under President Trump. How about the 43 to 45 percent of our entire debt that was increased under Nancy Pelosi as Speaker? Because those are the actual facts, and this is the body that has the power of the purse. This is the body that starts all the spending. We know where the spending starts. The fact of the matter is my colleagues on the other side of the aisle like to talk about creating 12 million jobs. First of all, this body doesn't create jobs. The government doesn't create jobs. The American people create jobs. The fact is our labor participation rate is still far behind pre- COVID levels. We are basically playing catch-up to the utter destruction that was levied against the American people by government, against the American people, shutting down this economy, locking our kids in the corners, setting our kids back generations in terms of their academic performance, and criticizing three-page bills. I will tell you what.…”
