Mr. President, I rise in support of my amendment to pay for this economic stimulus package by removing less important spending from elsewhere in the budget. On senate floor right now c-span.org/networks/?chan…
I would ask every American, If you were faced with a personal crisis and had to spend extra on food and medicine, money that you had to borrow from a relative, wouldn't you prioritize resources and stop loaning money to a friend overseas for their child to go to space camp?
I ask my colleagues to stop wasting money in this time of crisis. Stop being a rubber stamp for wasteful spending -- do your jobs and prioritize our precious resources. It is our job and our responsibility to conserve our resources.
Wouldn’t you stop funding a clown camp in Argentina?
Wouldn’t you stop building roads and gas stations in Pakistan?
Wouldn’t you immediately stop spending money studying why drunk people fall down more than sober people?

Because next time, maybe in the not too distant future, our children may not even be able to borrow their way out of a crisis. Our dollar will be devalued. Our economy ruined.
All because we will have been profligate fools with our resources.

To my fellow Americans, remain hopeful. Remain kind. Remain faithful and above all remain resilient.
In the World’s history, pandemics are the norm not the exception. It is only recently, in the modern era of antibiotics and vaccines, that pandemics have become less frequent.

We will survive this pandemic. What government does to mitigate the calamity should be short-lived, temporary, and cause as little distortion to our free market economy as possible.
The public should know that Congress has already enacted reforms that will free up millions of industrial masks to be used by our doctors and nurses.
In addition, I have introduced legislation to allow our University Labs and Advanced Private Labs to be able to develop additional testing for coronavirus and possible cures by removing the red tape at the FDA.
I do worry though that as we go further into debt we may reach a point where our debt is so large we are unable to manage the next pandemic.
We should never forget fiscal responsibility, even in a crisis.

We should pay for any new federal funding by taking that money from areas of the budget where it is not being used wisely.
