“One more issue I would address so that the American public is aware, is that when we put together what I think a normal person would refer to our budget, we try to break it into 12 different parts, which we call appropriations bills. The Senate has an appropriations bill--we are trying to get them to break things up--and the House has separate appropriations bills, and then negotiations take place between the House and the Senate to see what the new law will be. Now, there are a variety of the things that the press should be paying attention to in these bills. A lot of things are details with regard to spending. We have to remember that right now we are borrowing about 22 percent of our budget. I hope all Americans are paying attention as debates are being had over every item in these appropriations bills, as to whether we are spending more or spending less. Remember, the reason we have these high interest rates, which are making it almost impossible for young people to buy a house, is because of inflation, which comes from excessive spending. That is one thing for people to look up. The thing I want to address today is that in almost every one of these bills there are efforts being made to increase the number of bureaucrats who are involved in diversity.…”
