U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR), ranking member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, told senior industry leaders, policy makers and key thought leaders that the Democrat’s tax and spend bill leaves animal agriculture “out in the cold” during his remarks at the “Sustainable Solutions for Zero Hunger by 2030” forum. “Just … Continue reading Elitist Democrat agenda leaves rural America ‘out in the cold’

"If the governor and state legislature can’t pass the budget, we don’t shut down the state government, we just spend at last year's level. The Prevent Government Shutdowns Act would enforce the same discipline at the federal level."
Chairman Rick Scott joined EWTN Pro-Life Weekly last week to discuss the Democrats’ radical agenda to eliminate the Hyde and Helms Amendments. For over 40 years, the Hyde Amendment has been in place to protect American taxpayers from being forced to pay for abortions. And for nearly 50 years, Congress has also upheld the Helms Amendment, which protects taxpayer funds from being sent overseas to pay for elective abortions. An NRSC poll taken this year shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans oppose funding overseas abortions. Democrats are simply out of touch.
One thing is certain, these new taxes do not only impact the rich. In fact, liberals would like to give the wealthy in high-tax states like New York and California a tax cut as part of the plan!

"I hope we can start putting veterans and taxpayers before liberal wish lists and partisan politics, and finally grapple with the havoc the crisis in Afghanistan is wreaking on the veteran community."
"This is not a vision for recovering stronger from this pandemic, it’s an attempt to use a global crisis to put government in control of almost every aspect of our lives.”
"Over the past 18 months, we’ve spent more than $5 trillion responding to the coronavirus pandemic. Now Democrat congressional leaders propose to pass the largest single spending bill in history with no regard to rising inflation, crippling debt, or the inevitability of future crises."
“Blackouts, unaffordable electricity bills, tax hikes, entire American industries and jobs destroyed, no hope to cure diseases, long lines of the sick begging the government for lifesaving treatments, and weak American defenses against our adversaries like China and Russia."
“Friday’s markup was a disastrous sham from start to finish, and my Democrat colleagues should be ashamed of their complete disregard of process and decorum. Democrats refused to adequately address the implications of President Biden’s many tax proposals, and ultimately, farm families will end up footing the bill for this reckless spending package. The message couldn’t be clearer—President Biden, Speaker Pelosi, and Congressional Democrats are perfectly fine leaving rural America in the dust.”
