                         GO WOKE, GO BROKE ACT

  (Mr. OGLES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. OGLES. Mr. Speaker, you would hope that during a time of high 
inflation and energy prices, that the U.S. Treasury Department would 
focus on promoting economic policies that support the American 
taxpayer. Unfortunately, common sense is not a common trait with the 
Biden administration.
  Instead, the hard-earned tax dollars of the American people are being 
spent by the Treasury Department to promote garbage, exclusionary, and 
profoundly racist DEI ideology. This evil and grotesque concept 
threatens to tear our country apart, and this President clearly 
couldn't care less.
  Efforts to promote so-called equity and diversity have already 
contributed to the failure of businesses and banks in the private 
sector. We have just seen that. Yet, this administration is unfazed and 
as focused as ever on pitting fellow citizens against each other on the 
basis of race. The Democrats' woke, radical agenda is hurting our 
children, it is hurting our families, and is destroying the American 
economy.
  Mr. Speaker, the American people deserve better. Woke garbage is 
not--I repeat, is not--a substitute for fiscal policy.
