Saving Homeowners From Overregulation with Exceptional Rinsing Act
Floor Speech
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. RULLI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of Congressman Fry's SHOWER Act.
I am not going to pull a Nancy Pelosi, Mr. Speaker. I am not going to rip up the speech that I had written, but I am not going to give that speech.
I have to talk about the opposition party, and I have to talk about their complete lack of interaction with the blue-collar Joe Bag of Donuts, which is Youngstown and Akron and Canton and Cleveland and Pittsburgh. These are working people that they have forgotten.
They bring up electricity, sir, but they do not allow us to address power plants. They shut down coal plants. They put regulations on gas- powered generated plants, but then they say there is an electricity problem.
Let's talk about prices. In my district right now, eggs are $1.29. We have chicken breast at 99 cents. In Trumbull County, we have gas at $1.99. I have 45,000 jobs that I cannot fill.
We are on the ground. We are listening to the people. You guys are promoting the Ford Lightning, which nobody who is a working person even gives a crap about. They want to have Silverados and they want to have their Mopar and they want to have gas-powered engines inside of those cars, but yet they say they have it. All they work on is the narrative, Mr. Speaker. That is what they do.
I will tell you how I came to Congressman Fry's bill and how I got interested in it. We were replacing a showerhead at my mom's house, and I said to my plumber, Marty: What is going on with these showerheads? He said: You tell me. The people in Washington messed this up. Nobody can have a darn good shower in the last 10 years.
Why does that matter? What did they say? They say we are worried about showerheads. We are worried about the working man. We are worried about the standard of living that they have taken away from them. They have taxed them to death. They play this game with healthcare. They created ObamaCare. They never had a solution. It was never a permanent fix.
Mr. Speaker, the Democrats kicked it down the road, and then they said to just extend it without even dealing with it. What my Democrat colleagues are doing to the American people is wrong.
When a person goes on vacation, they go to a motel and take a shower. It is the worst shower they have ever had. It is cold. It is dripping out there. The working man cannot even enjoy his daily life. That is what they have missed.
We want to talk about how grand their philosophy is. When we look at the mayor of New York City, he wants to have government-owned grocery stores. People will be able to choose about 400 or 500 items instead of the 30,000 or 40,000 items they could choose today, all in consideration of the blue-collar Joe Bag of Doughnuts, the forgotten worker.
This is why Donald Trump was elected. We care about the forgotten worker. We are going to fix healthcare. We are going to fix affordability. Gas prices are already coming down. Grocery prices are coming down. Wait until that tax cut hits in 2026.
Mr. Speaker, I urge support of H.R. 4593 and so should you.
