This week, we came together to celebrate the land we call home. Unfortunately, a dark cloud of failed economic policies gloomed overhead for many friends and families as they gathered to enjoy the holiday. According to the American Farm Bureau, this Fourth of July was the most expensive in history.
The skyrocketing costs at the grocery store (20% higher than in 2021) are only the tip of the iceberg of challenges facing American families struggling to make ends meet. With recordhigh gas prices, increased crime nationwide, and the invasion of illegal immigrants at our southern border, parents are more concerned than ever for the safety and security of their families. The current Administration has failed time and time again to prioritize the needs of everyday Americans and would rather appease its extremist base. American families are fed up, and it’s time for change.
Through responsible policies like the Lower Energy Costs Act, Secure the Border Act, Fiscal Responsibility Act, and more, we can secure the border, create more highquality jobs, curb wasteful government spending, restore fiscal sanity; and contrary to the argument of the radical left, we can actually make our environment cleaner and safer through sound common sense conservation policies versus the pie in the sky wishlists of the left.
If there’s one lesson to be learned from U.S. history, it’s the resilience of our nation. In these challenging times, I’m especially thankful for the patriots who remain committed to upholding American values as we fight to get our country back on the right trajectory. Together, we will correct course and steer our nation back to the path of prosperity.
Happy belated Independence Day from Team Westerman – let’s keep up the good fight!
