Republicans are focused on funding Trump’s billion dollar ballroom boondoggle.

[00:00:00]People are pretty unhappy. They're unhappy that in Oregon gas is over five bucks a gallon. Diesel's over six bucks a gallon. They're unhappy that the health care costs went up and that the tax credits that helped them pay for it went away. They're unhappy that the groceries are up. They are unhappy about the cost of rent and home ownership going up. They're unhappy because they are pressed to the wall and what is the Republican answer to all of this? The ballroom boondoggle. A Louis the 14th massive edifice that turns the White House into an auxiliary dwelling unit. This is hardly the vision for a Democratic Republic. Possibly the vision for a dictator.

[00:00:45]Possibly the vision for a strongman.

[00:00:48]Possibly the vision for an authoritarian state, but not a vision for a Democratic Republic. And the rest of their bill, the rest of their bill doesn't do a damn thing for those health care, gasoline, housing, grocery costs or inflation going up at 3.8% the highest rate in 3 years. All this being done not to give a single penny to help a single family on a single issue where they're pressed to the wall.
