117th Congress

The Democrats printed and spent trillions of dollars we didn’t have and unleashed the worst inflation in forty years.  They waged war on American energy and plunged us into recession.     Now they are doubling down on these foolish policies.  It seems the more that some people invest in their mistakes, the less willing they are to admit them. 

This bill does nothing to reform the laws that have made active forest management impossible, and instead consigns us to fight a losing battle that will cost us our forests for generations to come.

Many years ago, the last silicon chip manufacturer closed its operations in Silicon Valley because of the high tax, energy and regulatory costs of doing business in the United States.  Now we’ve suddenly decided we want them back.  Instead of addressing the problem by reducing the obstacles to domestic manufacturing, Congress will shell out $280 billion (about $2,240 per family) to bail out impoverished big tech moguls by substituting your dollars for theirs.  There’s a prevailing wage requirement to reward the unions, and just so the green left isn’t left out, there’s plenty of your money left over to finance green energy scams as well.  Starving big tech executives thank you for your family’s generous contribution to their welfare.  Good luck affording your next laptop.

DHS Secretary Ali Mayorkas has repeatedly asserted – including in sworn testimony to this committee -- that the southern border is secure. This, of course, is a lie and not even a subtle one.
