“I couldn't be more proud to serve alongside of Ron Estes. The people of Kansas are well served, letting him be their voice in the people's House. You mentioned the disastrous economic plan and policies of this administration. It is hard to believe what you didn't mention that this President and our colleagues on the other side of the aisle somehow think that the largest tax-and-spend bill is the solution. More spending. More spending. More flooding the market with Federal moneys. More expansion of welfare without work. We all want to take care of those folks who are working hard and still struggling. But, for example, the refundable tax credit, child tax credit, where we would be paying thousands of dollars per child, per person, with no requirement to work, to contribute, to have ownership in this society, it is reckless. And, quite frankly, it is heartless because those policies trap people in poverty. They don't lift them out. They trap them in a life of dependency on the government. We want Americans to be the very best that God has created them to be and have the best quality of life and a chance for a better life for their families. I thank my friend from Kansas. I am reminded of some great warnings from our wise Founders. Ben Franklin said, `` . . . when you run into debt; you give another power over your liberty.'' We are talking about robbing our children of their freedom, not just their economic opportunity and future prosperity.…”
