Senator Ruben Gallego

Groceries are really, really bad right now.

I have three kids and thank God I make a good salary.

I have no concept or clue how someone like my mom who raised four kids on her own could have made it through, right?

Like this is ridiculous.

We're dealing in a time that people are really, really hurting.

And you have, again, the president who is focused on these foreign adventures that aren't directly right now in the national interest of this country.

And I think that's going to just...

hurt people and it's going to end up pissing them off to the point that they're going to come out and vote against it.

We've been speaking.

Yeah, go ahead.

I'm just like I'll give you a good example right now.

Mortgage.

The mortgage rates are the lowest it's been in quite a while.

Yeah.

But nobody's buying homes.

That's right.

Right?

What that means is that people are, you know, have the money, may have the money, but they feel so uncertain that they're not even willing to take advantage of the fact that mortgage rates are finally below 6%.

And maybe they're going to go down a little further to five and a half, five.

They probably won't go further than that, especially how much money, money we're borrowing, all this kind of stuff.
