“I thank the gentleman from Oklahoma for yielding. I have no ill will about what happened at the Cotton Bowl last week. But I will say that on the floor of the House of Representatives last week I was entertained by listening to the majority leader brag--brag--about voting 49 times to raise the debt ceiling in his career, the debt going up from $1 trillion to now $28\1/ 2\ trillion. What do my illustrious colleagues on the other side of the aisle want to do now? Throw another $3\1/2\ trillion on top of massive inflation, people getting paid not to work, and an economy getting absolutely crushed. That is where my Democratic colleagues want to take us. But the thing is, it is not about the $28\1/2\ trillion. That is horrible-- undermining the dollar, undermining the economy, racking up debt, printing money, and making us weak compared to China. But it really isn't that. It is that my Democratic colleagues want to spend that money to come after you, the American people. That is what that money is for. It is to go after the American people. It is to fund the FBI to go after parents at school boards; a school board where this summer a dad went to talk to the school board and exercise his First Amendment rights because his daughter was raped in a bathroom. And what do the illustrious geniuses of the Loudoun County School Board do? What do the school board administrations across this country do, the association? They said that we should call them domestic terrorists.…”
