Congresswoman Ballin

Oh, for goodness sakes, can we please bring it back to my question?

It was a yes or no question.

Are you trying to get revenge against blue states because they did not support the president?

Courts have said that, in fact, you did do that.

That in fact, you are being vindictive.

In fact, you are punishing because of political persuasions.

It's not members of Congress who suffer when you do an end run around Congress.

That's not what I'm angry about.

It's not about you taking the power from us.

It's that it's their money.

It's their power of the people, by the people and for the people.

The house is closest to the people.

So when you do an end run around Congress, you're taking Americans power.

now to wasteful government spending, particularly the $350 billion set aside for this, yes, war of choice against Iran included in this president's budget.

His budget asked for a shocking surge in Pentagon spending up to $1.5 trillion.

We have never in the history of this country seen spending like this paid for by splashing healthcare, education and housing.

Donald Trump has said, as my colleagues have said earlier, we're fighting wars here, we can't take care

of daycare.

Mr. Vote, yes or no, is $350 billion for the war in Iran lowering costs for Americans?

Those Americans who ask us in every single town hall why they can't afford to live in this country, is the war lowering costs for Americans?
