On 8/16/2022, Joe Biden returned to the White House from his South Carolina beach vacation to sign his massive spending bill that will raise taxes on the middle class and make inflation worse. He started, “Thank you, Majority Leader Schumer. Chuck, you’ve been a good friend a long, long time. And, Joe, I never had a doubt. (Laughter.) Joe had an operation on his shoulder. I just want you to know it wasn’t because of anything we did. (Laughter.) He’s in great shape. And our Whip, Mr. Clyburn, you’re — you’re amazing.”
On 8/12/2022, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats held a bill enrollment ceremony for the Inflation Reduction Act. Below are the Speaker’s remarks, “Hail to the Chief, to Joe Biden. He – just his leadership, his vision, his inspiration made today possible. Thank you, Mr. President … every single Republican in the House and in the Senate voted against it. How could they vote against lowering … How can they vote against the planet, Mother Earth? Mother Earth gets angry from time to time, and this legislation will help us address all of that.”
On 8/12/2022, During debate on the Democrats’ Tax and Spend bill, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy warned of the consequences of their out of control spending. McCarthy used his privilege as party leader to take as much floor time as he wanted. His speech went 50 minutes. “Madam Speaker I haven’t watched under this leadership a Democrat voted proxy wasn’t even in America so I wondered were they in another country to get health care were they sick no no no no no no they were in France at a wedding when they phoned that vote in I wasn’t quite sure do you think at the wedding the member was reading the bill on the phone so so that member knew how to vote because I’m not sure it came through committee I don’t know how much debate they had on this because the senate did this bill what a disgrace I urge all my colleagues to reject this out of touch bill reject the crushing new taxes reject the ballooning of government reject the spending of things that we don’t need with money we don’t have.”
Madam speaker I would respect the other side of the aisle much greater if they would at least do exactly what secretary Yellen did apologize for your mistake and change course. Don’t double down don’t make the same mistake three four times like you’re going to do today at the very least at the very least if you’re going to vote yes do it in person do it in person read the bill put it through committee. Madam speaker I’ve watched this body take on big issues we’ve got some of the biggest issues before us today and you continue to make it just a partisan action one that even your side of the aisle has warned you against but somehow you want to celebrate it.
A vote for this bill is a vote to help the well-connected get further and further ahead while leaving the needs of hard-working American families behind yet you could be forgiven for not understanding the gravity of today’s vote for such a supposedly historic occasion few Democrats even bothered to show up look around this chamber madam speaker the floor is nearly empty if Democrats really truthfully want to raise your taxes on Americans during a recession that’s their choice that’s the power they have they’ve proven it time and again and they will do it the very least you could do madam speaker is show up in person if you’re going to vote yes show up in person to the American public and for those that chant yes gasoline is lower than it was two years ago yes the border is safer than it was two years ago don’t say it when the cameras are off don’t say it when people can’t see who’s saying it go to the mics if you believe it go to the mics and say it better yet tell your district about it because they know differently America knows differently but if you want to vote yes you should have the courage and the decency to show up and do that in person yet madam speaker speaker Pelosi extended proxy voting again on Wednesday allowing Democrats to hide their faces and vote to take your money from the comfort of their summer vacations absolute power corrupts absolutely madam speaker famous quote there’s lots of lessons people learn and normally the lesson that you learn the most is when you cause the most pain I guess creating inflation you haven’t had in 41 years creating shortages there’s no baby formula gas prices that we haven’t seen since jimmy carter was in office a border that’s wide open.
