Let's talk about this a little bit because this is what you'll get if you elect Roy Cooper instead of Michael Whatley.
You'll get basically just obstructionism is all you're going to get because the choice right now is pretty obvious theme going on in our government.
And the choice is between productive governance and burn it down obstructedness.
Many House Democrats the other week voted Borg-like fashion, they say, robot fashion, against the Lindsey Graham-Blumenthal bill to allow the president to go after the people that buy products from Russia, their oil, their natural gas, all their stuff, that allowed them to put more sanctions on, and 150 Democrats voted against that in the House, and about 20 or so in the Senate, which makes no sense since they sent billions of dollars to Ukraine, but yet they won't let them put up tariffs on other countries who are buying it, And same thing's happened to us right now.
I always remember the story of Boris Yeltsin, who was the leader of the Soviet Union back in, I guess it was the late 80s, 90s, coming over here to America.
And before he left, before he left, he actually stopped by a grocery store in Texas and went in.
And they said he began to tear up because he saw how capitalism works at every level all the way down to the poorest of the poor to be able to go into a grocery store and have plenty of products there to choose from at still very reasonable prices now, especially back then.
