Madam Chair, we borrow $6 billion a day. We throw the $2 trillion number around all the time but, frankly, most of us don't understand a trillion. We borrow $6 billion a day toward that $2 trillion. We discuss a lot of inputs on the floor of the House, which means government spending, Federal spending. We rarely discuss outputs, and in this case there is very little output. We are talking about some inputs, Federal spending, but no outputs. This is simply an indoctrination program to the Green New Deal. Now, we also have a lot of noble sounding ideas coming across this floor, but in this case there is nothing positive. There is only spending. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
