"President Biden and the Democrats spent $2 trillion in March, $1 trillion last week, and now they want to come back next week and pass another bill that will spend trillions more. They are spending the hard earned money of Michigan families with no regard for the inflation and higher prices those families are facing for gas, groceries, and everything else," said Congessman John Moolenaar. "Democrats in Congress still have not passed legislation funding the government in 2022, but that hasn't stopped them from spending trillions on top of the regular budget, and that's hurting Michigan families right now with higher prices."

“President Biden’s arbitrary COVID vaccine mandate on businesses with 100 or more employees, burdens businesses with the responsibility to pay for expensive tests or force their employees to be vaccinated.

“Our veterans deserve to have better service from the VA, and I have heard from many veterans that there are simply not enough patient advocates at the VA,” said Moolenaar. “The legislation we are introducing today will increase the number of patient advocates and improve accountability, so our veterans will receive better care and attention from VA staff. My Michigan colleagues and I have worked across the aisle to introduce these important solutions for our veterans, and we are proud to have support of the VFW, the SVA, and their members for our legislation today.”

“Our veterans have sacrificed so much for us and this is just one way we can allow them to honor their fellow soldiers.

“This illegal assault on our nation’s energy infrastructure should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “Everyone has the right to protest and demonstrate against ideas they disagree with, but there is no right to trespass and illegally tamper with infrastructure. This pipeline provides vital energy to Michiganders, as well as people throughout the Midwest and Canada. Today’s illegal action, right before the winter heating season, shows how out-of-touch some groups on the far-left are with the majority of Americans who want affordable and reliable energy.”
