In less than two weeks, the U.S. government runs out of money to fund necessary programs. Prices continue to rise for consumer products of all kinds, from gasoline to chicken. Millions of Americans have left the workforce and businesses are desperately searching for employees. Students and their families in Blue states across the country are still dealing with school district policy dictated by teachers' unions that want schools closed.
Before COVID-19 shut down our economy and drove millions of Americans to work from home, those who had to call a federal agency for assistance may have experienced a reasonable wait time. Agencies like the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Social Security Administration, the Small Business Administration, or the Department of Veterans Affairs have often felt slow to respond, but the wait was understandable considering the volume of people looking for help at any given time.
WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Westerman (R-AR) released the following statement on the one year anniversary of President Biden's inauguration.
