Sense of Congress

It is the sense of Congress that— (1) workers and families in the United States are struggling to afford basic necessities, like groceries, rent, health care, credit card bills, and other debt payments; (2) many farmers in the United States, especially soybean farmers, are experiencing severe financial hardship, in large part, because of the chaotic tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump; (3) the Exchange Stabilization Fund of the Department of the Treasury should be used to promote financial interests of the United States by defending jobs, wages, and financial stability from foreign currency manipulation, not to bail out foreign financial markets; (4) global investors appear to have lost confidence in the President of Argentina, Javier Milei, because of corruption scandals and his waning public popularity, causing serious disruptions in the country’s financial markets; (5) Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent announced a $20,000,000,000 bailout of Argentina’s financial markets to provide President Milei with a bridge to the country’s October 26 midterm elections; (6) President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are shutting down the United States Government after ripping away health care from 15,000,000 people in the United States; and (7) President Trump should not prioritize a $20,000,000,000 bailout for his foreign political ally and global investors over health care for the people of the United States and the critical government programs that will be turned off in the Trump-Republican shutdown.
