The Senate leaders are heading to Kyiv with $61 billion, possibly in cash, while our border is being invaded by 800,000 illegal immigrants in the last month. They had no time or money to address the border issue, but managed to prepare the money, load the planes, and get ready for their trip to Kyiv.

We fund one third of Ukraine's government, which includes salaries for teachers, janitors, and everyone else, not just the military. Meanwhile, people in our country are struggling to afford basic necessities like food and medicine. We need to focus on our own problems instead of paying for their government. Our priority should be to stop the killing and provide American leadership, rather than giving more money without any conditions.

We have an abundance of money for funding war machinery and foreign aid, like $8 billion to Ukraine. We also support Ukrainian businesses and banks with taxpayer funds. Humanitarian aid often ends up in corrupt hands due to lack of oversight.

For the last couple of weeks, Democrats have been attacking those who are exposing wasteful spending instead of focusing on stopping the spending. This underscores the fundamental difference between the left and conservatives. The left thinks bureaucrats are smarter than the American people. I'd rather trust the 77 million people who elected President Trump to identify the dumb things that taxpayer money is going towards. They're attacking the people President Trump put in charge. You can't question the bureaucrats, even though the smartest bureaucrat, Dr. Fauci, was wrong about many things. They even tried to set up a disinformation governance board to tell us what we can and can't say. I'll trust the guy elected by 77 million Americans to focus on stopping the stupid spending. We have a $36 trillion debt. We should pass Mr. Siskamani's bill again this year.

"it's not antisemitic to talk about this, and it's not antisemitic to question any foreign country's government secular government, including Israel." "We fund a lot of other countries' borders better than we fund our own." "it's over $800,000,000,000,000, actually, close to 900,000,000,000,000 is the total bill." "the 500,000,000 for Israel." "They already received $3,400,000,000 annually every single year through the State Department." "Taiwan for 500,000,000 and for Jordan for 500,000,000 as well." "There's 15,000,000 in there for AIDS prevention education activities." "America's broke. We're $37,000,000,000,000 in debt." "we just can't pay for the world anymore." "Not being an isolationist. That's actually being smart and serving the people that that pay for all of this stuff and have been chained into 37,000,000,000,000 in debt." "And that's not being mean to foreign people and foreign countries, but America's broke."

I don't care about grocery prices right now. We're focused on exposing corruption and reducing government spending. We're saving billions by cutting off funding to wasteful projects. Anyone with common sense knows you can't fix the economy overnight. So let's focus on the bigger picture here.

Twitter, at least, was breaking even and passing audits. The federal government, however, is losing trillions annually and failing its audits. Senator Collins mentioned giving the Navy billions for submarines, only to find out the money disappeared without any new submarines. This level of waste is enabled because they're accustomed to operating this way without accountability. As Milton Friedman said, money is most poorly spent when you're spending someone else's money on people you don't know, which perfectly describes the federal government's situation.

I didn't hear any mention of spending or national debt, which is concerning. We need to control spending to address broader issues. The national debt is a symptom of the nanny state, which consists of three parts: the entitlement state, the regulatory state, and the foreign policy nanny state. To tackle the entitlement state, we should attach work requirements to government aid. For the regulatory state, we need to reduce the number of federal bureaucrats and eliminate unconstitutional regulations. Lastly, we should implement zero-based budgeting for federal expenditures, including foreign aid. By dismantling these areas of unnecessary spending, we can effectively address the national debt and restore self-governance in the country. The focus should be on these root causes, as resolving them will lead to a healthier economy and civic responsibility.

Borrowing more money to send to Ukraine is irresponsible and weakens us. Congress doesn't care about the debt because it's not their money. Milton Friedman's statement holds true: nobody spends someone else's money as wisely as their own. The big spenders in Congress won't use their own money. Americans should take notice and blame these wasteful spenders.

I'm nearly convinced that our entire national debt of $36 trillion is due to fraud, abuse, and waste. A staggering $2.7 trillion was improperly sent overseas as Medicare and Medicaid payments. How is this even possible? Is there any part of our government that isn't defrauding the American people? We've barely scratched the surface of this audit, and it already seems the answer is no. It feels like every branch of government has been robbing Americans blind while we struggle to make ends meet. People are still freezing. I want to see arrests, and I want the names of those responsible revealed.

We don't have any extra money to send to Ukraine, considering our massive deficit of over $1.5 trillion. Borrowing money from China to support Ukraine doesn't make sense. We don't have a rainy day fund with trillions of dollars just sitting around. Instead, we would have to borrow the money, which leads to inflation. Since Russia's war in Ukraine began, American taxpayers have already provided $113 billion to Ukraine. We have many issues in our own country that need attention before we borrow more money to fuel a war in another nation.

Speaker 0: In America, we don't have a tax problem. We've got a third world problem. This is not an exaggeration. The United States collects over $2,400,000,000,000 in income taxes every year and then burns $1,500,000,000,000 through fraud, waste, and third world robbery. If the elites actually did their jobs and cut out the waste, the government would only need about $900,000,000,000 to function. And here's the crazy part. That would mean anyone earning under $500,000 a year could pay zero income tax, and everything would still be fully funded. So if this money isn't funding our future, whose dream is it really building? Look at Minnesota. The Somali daycare scandal gave us the answer. Billions of dollars you worked for, money meant to feed hungry kids, was diverted through fake daycare centers, phantom meals, and paperwork designed to approve. Not question, no kids, no food, just checks. Your hard earned labor was turned into Lamborghinis, beachfront mansions, and luxury vacations most of us will never experience even after a lifetime of honest work. On top of that, your tax dollars were routed to foreign organizations The US Military is fighting. Let that sink in. We went from defending liberty to bankrolling the threat. That's not compassion. That's collapse. And when systems fail like this, they don't admit mistakes. They don't apologize for wasting your money. They dig deeper into your pockets to fund their failure.

Scott and Mike Pence, both Republicans, voted to raise the debt, while Donald Trump added a staggering $8 trillion to our national debt. This is a burden our children will bear. Looking at the 2024 budget, Republicans requested $7.4 billion in earmarks, while Democrats asked for a mere $800 million. It's clear that the Republicans are the big spenders. We need an accountant in the White House to address this issue.

We're being pimped by Zelensky and the US government. Our hard-earned money is being sent to Ukraine, and when Zelensky gets it, he says it's not enough. We can't even afford basic necessities here, yet we're sending billions to Ukraine. Zelensky is having steak dinners with celebrities while our veterans sleep on the streets and children go hungry. It's infuriating and makes no sense. If people want Ukraine to have money, they should send their own. We need to take care of our own problems first.

I wear a debt badge synced to the treasury to highlight the urgency of our national debt. It's hard to grasp trillions, but seeing the numbers climb rapidly makes it real. We're essentially launching cyber trucks of debt into the ocean every second. Lawmakers are apathetic, but we can't keep ignoring it. We're taxing the world by printing money as the reserve currency, but that won't last. We're weaponizing the dollar with sanctions and seizing assets, discouraging other countries from using or buying our debt. Some colleagues understand the problem, but vote for it anyway because it's popular. Our military-industrial complex drives endless spending, creating ill will and creating enemies. I try to make people realize there are consequences to their actions on the floor of the House, but I still am against sending our money overseas for these purposes.

Joe Biden has wasted a trillion dollars in less than three years, causing inflation that hurts working families. To stop inflation and save the economy, we need to cut spending, but not at the expense of American families and seniors. The president should have the power to refuse unnecessary spending, as Thomas Jefferson did. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974, which curtailed this power, is unconstitutional and needs to be challenged. When I return to the White House, I will fight to overturn this act and use impoundment to save money. This will not affect national defense, Medicare, or Social Security. The funds saved can even be used to strengthen Medicare and Social Security. Impoundment will also help control spending and eliminate the deep state and globalists from our government. It's a pro-growth, pro-American, and pro-freedom policy that only I can accomplish.

We could have used the $165 billion given to Ukraine to build 6 border walls, fix Flint's water system 215 times, give every homeless vet $2 million, and help families impacted by wildfires. HUD says $20 billion could end homelessness in America, but we sent much more. Priorities need to change.

We gave Ukraine $165 billion, enough to build 6 border walls, give every homeless vet $2 million, and help families affected by wildfires. Instead, they received only $700 each. HUD says $20 billion could end homelessness in America, but we spent $165 billion. This could have ended homelessness 8 times over. Our priorities need to change.

I'm wearing this debt badge that syncs to the treasury, showing the debt to the penny and how fast it's growing. It's a hundred thousand dollars a second, like launching cyber trucks into the ocean continuously. Lawmakers are apathetic, but I'm trying to make them realize the consequences. We're able to finance this because we're the world's reserve currency, effectively taxing the world through inflation. But this won't last. Ironically, sanctions are pushing countries away from using the dollar. Seizing other countries' assets is immoral and shortsighted, discouraging them from buying our debt. Some colleagues understand this, but vote for things anyway because it's popular. I keep dissenting, voting against foreign aid and proxy wars. It's not about right versus left, but honesty versus falsehood.

We are working to cut a trillion dollars from the deficit because if we don't get the deficit under control, America will go bankrupt. A country is no different than an individual. If you overspend, you will go bankrupt, and the massive waste and abuse that has been going on has led to a $2 trillion a year deficit. That is what the President was handed on January 20th: a $2 trillion deficit. It's insane.

Speaker 0: "Republicans pretend to care about the debt... then they vote for all the spending." "We're gonna expand Social Security by a $100,000,000,000." "Social Security's already going bankrupt." He links the debt to inflation: "inflation that's linked to the debt." He proposes drastic cuts: "the penny plan"—"a freeze in all spending" to "balance within five years," then "a 1% cut" and "the six penny plan." He argues for means testing and raising the age to 70: "the richer would get a lot less." He critiques both parties: "top 1% pay 40% of the income tax. The top 10%, people making 200,000 or more pay 90% of the income tax." He cites "the big not so beautiful bill" and calls for capping Medicaid expansion and shifting Medicaid to the states. He condemns anti-immigration talk as "morons" and says "I commend for the president shutting the border down. I'm a big fan of Elon Musk." He lists three scenarios: "deflating the currency," "domestic unrest," and "war."

Republicans should not cut Medicare or Social Security to pay for Biden's spending. Biden has wasted trillions on the Green New Deal and opened our borders to migrants from prisons and mental institutions. Our border is now the worst in the world. Instead of burdening American families and seniors, we should cut spending on corrupt foreign countries, mass releases of illegal aliens, left-wing gender programs in the military, climate extremism, and waste fraud and abuse. We must save Social Security and not let the Democrats destroy it.

We spent $8 trillion on the war in Iraq and got nothing in return. We killed more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein, created ISIS, and caused millions of refugees. Then we spent $16 trillion on the pandemic with no results. Now we're doing bank bailouts regularly. The government cut Medicare for 15 million Americans while sending extra money to Ukraine. A friend had his food stamps cut by 90%, leaving him with only $25 a month. 30 million Americans are starving, which is unacceptable. We're failing to take care of those who played by the rules and promised to be taken care of in old age.

A lot of Americans' money has been stolen through fraud and improper payments. In one of my first hearings, we discovered criminals using social security numbers of dead people or people over 115 years old to get small business loans and steal money from federal programs. We need to work to fix these issues in our legislation, budgets, and appropriations. This is a bipartisan issue; we're addressing money being fraudulently used and stolen. The American people are being robbed blind through improper payments, fraud, and outdated systems. Some federal agencies hire third-party vendors to hold data instead of communicating within the government. We are currently $36 trillion in debt, and we can't afford to keep losing money this way.

The American people are sick of the lies, cheating, and spending. We're seeing the climax of living beyond our means, fueled by the dollar's reserve currency status. The country is bankrupt, morally and financially, with moral bankruptcy leading to abuse of power. Some in Congress want to cut back spending, but there are loopholes. Congress is not doing its job by passing appropriation bills. Trump is asking Republicans to vote for a bill that largely maintains current spending levels, with an additional $8 billion for military spending. They are always trying to kick the can down the road, they are not cutting spending. The whole system is massive, abused, and immoral. It's going to take some time to fix this issue.
