That cloud hanging over the heads of our children, that snowball coming down the mountain, that is the 21st century challenge. That is the bankrupting of our children's future by spending our country into oblivion. It is our great challenge and we enter it with sober minds and with prayerful hearts that God would give us the courage to take on the forces in our own party and in this building and outside this building, and anything that stands in our way until we reverse the curse, and we can look into our children's eyes and we can tell them we have handed them this country better than we found it, like every generation of great leaders for this country. Mr. Speaker, now I get to sit and listen to a great fighter for freedom, my fellow Texan (Mr. Roy). God bless America. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. =========================== NOTE =========================== September 29, 2022, on page H8305, in the second column, the following appeared: God bless America. ------------- The online version has been corrected to read: God bless America.
