Seth Moulton Democrat
“I want this resolution to pass. We are worse off now than when this conflict started. Oil, nuclear threats, missiles, and shipping costs have all gotten worse. President Trump has said the war is ending many times, but it has not ended.”
“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I detailed how on so many counts--oil, nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, and regime change that we are worse off today than we were when this war started, but I thank my colleague from Florida for bringing up another one, which is insurance rates. I ask my colleague: Are insurance rates higher or lower to go through the Strait of Hormuz today than they were 5, 10, or 50 years ago? Everyone knows, Mr. Speaker, it is worse. Then my colleague said, well, that is why we need to end this forever war. How is that going? What are we up to, 40 times that President Trump has said the war is ending. I would like to see the day. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Schneider).”
