Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the legislation.

This week, Star Parker provided insight in ``Staying Free and Faithful in a Pandemic'' in The Daily Signal:

``The coronavirus presents challenges to us as Nation and as individuals. There are principles we should keep in mind. We have a Constitution that assigns limited, defined powers to the Federal Government and leaves the rest to the States and individuals.''

Trump acted with deliberation, shutting down flights from China. We know this virus is most lethal to the elderly. There are large variations among the States. The answer is we should maximize local responsibility.

There are two other things to keep in mind. One is, life is unpredictable. That is why socialism and national planning are so bogus and always result in failure, and that is why freedom is so critically important. Only through freedom is responsibility focused on individuals.

Two, faith is critical. It is faith that keeps us human, faith that binds us together, unique individuals.

``Faith will play a key role in helping our Nation through this crisis and emerge better for it.''
