Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. KHANNA. Mr. Speaker, our country is at a moral crossroads. Just today, it comes out that billionaires are worth $8 trillion. That is more than 50 percent of Americans combined.

What does the President do? He decides he doesn't have the money for the American people. He is going to starve the American people to give $40 billion to the corrupt Libertarian leader in Argentina. Mr. Speaker, $9 million would have fed the American people. How is that America first?

Then he says he doesn't care about the cab driver who is now paying $2,600 per month in healthcare as opposed to $44. He doesn't want to save the 20 million Americans who are going to face high premium increases. How is that America first?

Mr. Speaker, we need national health insurance in this country. We need to tax billionaires in this country. We need to fund SNAP in this country. We need to stop funding Argentina and corrupt foreign leaders.
