Greene also touched upon the socioeconomic challenges facing Americans today, from soaring inflation affecting basic living costs to the housing crisis that leaves many young adults skeptical about their future homeownership prospects. “Inflation has driven out of control. Americans are suffering every single day. They can hardly afford their grocery bills. They can hardly afford gas in their car. They can hardly afford rent. And now mortgage payments are well over $3,000, where they were only just over $1,700 three years ago,” she detailed.
The timing of Congress’s push for an additional $61 billion in aid to Ukraine was not lost on Greene, especially as it coincides with tax season, a period of financial reckoning for many Americans. “Mind you, this comes on the very heels of Monday being April 15th, tax day, where every single American had to scrounge up their money and send their dollars in to the IRS, or some of them had to file extensions because they weren’t ready and didn’t have the money to pay their taxes,” she explained.
Greene’s condemnation extended to the broader priorities of the American government, questioning the lack of support for national defense and domestic security while funds are allocated to support foreign conflicts. “Shame on the American government. Shame on the American government. If we support our military, support our military, we should be funding to build up our weapons and ammunition not to send it over to foreign countries to kill foreign peoples,” Greene argued.

In her scathing critique, Greene called for a shift in policy focus—from foreign entanglements back to American prosperity and peace. “We should have a business model that builds up our American companies and American jobs to serve American interest. And our military and our government should care about protecting the national security of the United States of America and the Americans that pay their hard-earned tax dollars to fund all of this. America Last. America Last. That’s all this is. Every single day, America Last,” she concluded, encapsulating her stance against what she perceives as misguided governmental priorities.
