Mr. OGLES. Mr. Speaker, you would hope that during a time of high inflation and energy prices, that the U.S. Treasury Department would focus on promoting economic policies that support the American taxpayer. Unfortunately, common sense is not a common trait with the Biden administration.
Instead, the hard-earned tax dollars of the American people are being spent by the Treasury Department to promote garbage, exclusionary, and profoundly racist DEI ideology. This evil and grotesque concept threatens to tear our country apart, and this President clearly couldn't care less.
Efforts to promote so-called equity and diversity have already contributed to the failure of businesses and banks in the private sector. We have just seen that. Yet, this administration is unfazed and as focused as ever on pitting fellow citizens against each other on the basis of race. The Democrats' woke, radical agenda is hurting our children, it is hurting our families, and is destroying the American economy.
Mr. Speaker, the American people deserve better. Woke garbage is not--I repeat, is not--a substitute for fiscal policy.
