A Conversation with Rep. Beth Van Duyne TX 24 (EP 46).

Published | Video Starts at 22:29

We wanted to give money out to people to be able to help them when they were hurting the most. But I think Democrats, the second round really were not paying attention to what happened the first time, which was paying people more to stay home than to go to work. And we need to get this country back to work. We had one during one of our Ways and Means meetings, we had one of our members, Mike Kelly, asked the question to one of our bureaucrats about, are you back in the office? (22:29–22:40)
