As the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Norman) has said, debt is the opposite of freedom. There is a biblical principle to that. It says the debtor, the borrower, is a slave to the lender. Again, the Founders warned us about the consequence of excessive debt. I was reminded, as Mr. Norman was speaking, that I feel like I am living through the movie of how to destroy a country produced by President Biden. If you were going to set out to destroy a country intentionally 2\1/ 2\ years ago, what would you do different than the things that Mr. Norman has outlined today, whether it is our border invasion, purposefully, willfully facilitated by this administration, or whether it is our national debt with predominant responsibility to the Democratic Party, but also contributed to by Republicans? We have the opportunity to do something about that now in this Congress. Mr. Speaker, I recognize my friend from Louisiana (Mr. Higgins) to express his thoughts accordingly.
