Aside from the insulting disregard for our national debt for our children and grandchildren, this is the greatest threat. It is not the existential threats. It is our insatiable appetite to expand the government, government's power, and the costs associated. If these bills, these supposed funding bills are enacted, here are the policies that will follow: Abortion providers will be funded and abortion, and the abortion manufacturers that abort, terminate unborn children at a rate of almost 1,000 a day. Allow illegal immigrants to receive our tax dollar financial aid and Federal employment. What a disrespect to the law-abiding American citizens. Choke out our ag and energy producers with extreme environmental policies, disrupt the supply chain, undermine our ag and energy independence. The list is too long, Mr. Speaker. Give contraceptives to students without parental knowledge. Fund sex changes at the VA. These are the priorities, these are the values reflected in the budget of my colleagues? Mr. Speaker, this is a radical reimagination of government's role in the life of its citizens and a drastic departure from America's values and interests, and I oppose it. I pray to God I can get a Democrat to oppose it. I doubt it. ____________________
