GET GOVERNMENT WORKING FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AGAIN

GET GOVERNMENT WORKING FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AGAIN

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 25 (Thursday, February 6, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 25 (Thursday, February 6, 2025)] [House] [Page H518] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] GET GOVERNMENT WORKING FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AGAIN (Ms. BYNUM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. BYNUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today because the richest man in the world is buying access to our government at the expense of the American people. Elon Musk, who wasn't elected by anyone, is accessing the private information of millions of Americans and eliminating Federal agencies. As a little girl in D.C., I was taught that the Nation's Capital being taken by storm was our country's worst nightmare. It is happening today, not by a foreign adversary but by the boy band billionaires looking to line their pockets. This week, many of us stood up and fought back. Our country does not have time for this foolishness. No one can seem to explain to me what the Trump administration has done to bring down prices at the grocery store, to make it easier to buy or rent a home, or to lower the price of a gallon of gas. Mr. Speaker, we have to do whatever it takes to get this government working for the American people again. ____________________
