MORE UNNECESSARY SPENDING
(Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I rise to express my continued concern and
opposition to the efforts from the Democrat majority to pass another
$3.5 trillion worth of unnecessary spending.
If you ask any American right now what the biggest challenge they
face is, it is inflation. We have inflation today primarily because of
the last unnecessary spending that was passed in this House, and that
was the $1.9 trillion stimulus bill that Democrats passed on a partisan
basis in this House. That has led to inflation.
We have more inflation than we have had in my adult lifetime. Yet,
this body wants to continue to pass more unnecessary spending that will
lead to more inflation. Enough is enough. We need to move on from this
bill and take care of the business that the American people deserve
Congress to address.
