The gentleman is recognized for one minute. Thank you, madam speaker. You know, folks at home are wondering about their utility rate why theyre going up so high. Mr. Lamalfa and it isnt always the fault of the utility. When i look around and see what government does to make things cost so much more, whether its stopping the exploration for oil and gas in order to run power plants or tearing dams down beca because it might impede fish passage, so we dont have hydroelectric power. But then some of the demands government makes in order to give them a permit to operate once again like theyve been doing for 50 or 100 years, do you know they demand things like well, we want you to build a road for us here and maintain it for us, even though the utility doesnt necessarily actually use that road or at least a big chunk of that road. And they dont have a partnership with the forest service, for example to say well you do half, well do half. No they just make demands. Like don finucci Walking Around in the god father. The speaker pro tempore please take your conversations outside. Sir, please continue. The house will be in order. Please. Mr. Lamalfa the demands governmeak people to just operate its like don Walking Around in the godfather part ii, collecting a little bit from everything. It has no nexus to the actual operation of the utility in order to just deliver electricity to the people. Government needs to be reined in on its demands on the thuggery it is in order to just do business. And so when people are wondering, why is my utility bill so high, it isnt just because evil utilities. Its government. Operating permit, permits to trim around trees so we dont burn down all of northern california. One thing after another. Government needs to be reeled in.

The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentleman from wisconsin is recognized for one minute. Mr. Grothman kind of an appropriate buildup to what i have to same earlier this morning i attended a meeting with people who should know whats going on at the southern border and they brought up something that i dont think has been in the public yet. They brought up the age at which Border Patrol agents are retiring is dropping. Its dropping to such a degree, i almost dont believe it, but were told that the average age ofrom 57 to 50. So not only are we having a hard time filling new spots but people are leaving the old slots quicker than ever. Why is that . They get no support from the white house. People have said, does anybody have any discussion what to do with the border . Merica that at the time Joe Biden Took Office about 20,000 people a month were coming here. And now in decemr, we 350,000. About an increased times 18. Its not sometng we have to sit down and talk about and figure out what we have to do, though id be happy to talk about it. The solution was there under the prior administration. We could cut the number of people coming across by 17 or 18 to one. Instead were going the opposite direction by poorly treating the Border Patrol and not only further allowing over 100,000 a year to die of illegal drug everdose. Thank you much.
