“An administration that cares about prosperity and abundance should be more concerned about the availability of food and what everyday Americans pay out of their pockets at the grocery store. Instead, the Biden-Harris administration expresses concern over animal- and food-related emissions and proposes goals and regulations to address this. I have already highlighted some of the ways that the EPA has gone after rural communities. This office will not be the eyes and ears for our rural communities. Instead, it will continue to support climate- related policies that hurt our farmers and ranchers. The Biden-Harris administration has a history of adopting rules and policies suggested by international NGOs. The Federal Government, unfortunately, has a tendency to follow the poor examples of other countries by adopting terrible policies after they do, especially if it is related to this nonsense surrounding so-called climate change. We don't need this office within the EPA. We already have to deal with the USDA. Mr. Chair, I urge support of my amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.”
