“It makes absolutely no sense. One might question why would this Congress and why would this body give more money to the Department of Defense and this administration to continue to fire men and women in uniform? Madam Speaker, why would we not attach to a continuing resolution refunding bill in 9 days a requirement that our men and women in uniform not be fired for not taking a vaccine for a pandemic the President says is over? Madam Speaker, $6 billion, by the way, goes to Fauci's NIAID, and $9 billion goes to the CDC. Why are we funding this? Why are we funding an open border? Why are we funding $60 billion to the Department of Homeland Security which is causing Americans to die from fentanyl and causing migrants to die on people's ranches, endangering the American people and allowing people known to be associated with terrorists in our country, and at the same time we are funding vaccine mandates to fire men and women in uniform when our recruiting levels are at an all-time low? It begs the question. But that is not the only problem. That is not the only thing we are dealing with. We are dealing with an energy crisis. We are dealing with a reality that energy prices are up. Why would that be? A tsunami of shutoffs the headlines say, 20 million U.S. homes are behind on energy bills, Federal oil leases slow to a trickle under Biden. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warns that gas prices could spike again this winter.…”
