Funding the Government

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas. Mr. Speaker, the Democrats have once again failed their job to provide funding for the upcoming fiscal year. They will now kick the can down the road until after the election and pass a continuing resolution to keep the government open until December.

Funding the government in this fragmented fashion is irresponsible, and it does not allow us to respond to the realities facing our country, like a southern border enduring over 7,000 illegal crossings every day, an energy crisis, and rampant inflation.

Additionally, CRs do not allow our military to start any new contracts, which is a real problem right now, considering the uncertainty around this world.

Every year, we know that these deadlines are coming, yet the Democrats have once again failed to deliver for hardworking Americans. In God we trust.
