On Caring

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. DEAN of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, ``I don't think about Americans' financial situation at all . . . I don't think about anybody . . .''

Madam Speaker, over the past too many years, I have found it important to point out our leaders' failures to tell the truth. This week I heard something different, though no less troubling. I heard the truth.

On his way to China this week, the President said he does not care about Americans' financial situation, while back home, inflation is surging.

Gas in my home of Montgomery, Pennsylvania, has skyrocketed to $4.69 per gallon. Diesel is even higher, farmers input costs soaring. Groceries, utilities, rent, and all sorts of goods are all up.

Through his illegal tariffs, grotesque immigration policies, and now a reckless $30 billion-to-date, poorly thought out, deadly war with Iran, everything costs more.

The President does not care, and now he wants American taxpayers to fund his billion-dollar golden ballroom. Congressional Republicans somehow champion it.

Madam Speaker, the President may not think about lowering costs. He may not care, but I do.
