Political Quotes

“It is astonishing, as I come to the floor, to listen to the Democrat minority leader. We just heard his comments about foreign aid keeping 'Russia and China at bay.' If it were only the case. The minority leader has a long and spirited history of wasting American taxpayer dollars. Now he wants to send taxpayer dollars overseas to pay for climate projects and vegan food programs. Apparently, that is what he means when he talks about foreign aid keeping Russia and China at bay. He forgot to mention that he wants to spend half a million dollars to put electric vehicles--electric buses--on the streets of Rwanda. He forgot to mention that he wants to spend $6 million on net zero cities in Mexico. He forgot to mention he wants to continue to spend over $100,000 for media training in Liberia. Mr. President, I ask, how does that keep Russia and China at bay? He failed to mention that he wants to continue to spend $3.3 million on civic engagement in Zimbabwe. He didn't say any of that because there is no good reason at all for that kind of wasteful Washington spending. None of that spending helps farmers or ranchers in my home State of Wyoming. None of this spending helps struggling families. In November, Americans voted to end this wasteful Washington spending. Voters got it right. Chuck Schumer gets it wrong.”
