WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) released the following statement regarding his introduction of the Big Biden Blunder Act (BBB Act), which demands accountability for the Biden administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. Congressman Donalds was joined by Representatives Rick Crawford (R-AR), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Russell Fry (R-SC), Diana Harshbarger (R-TN) and Troy Nehls (R-TX) as original co-sponsors.
“The Biden administration’s disastrous, hasty, and poorly executed withdrawal from Afghanistan has left a permanent stain on our nation’s military prestige. Thirteen dead U.S. servicemembers, over $85 billion of military equipment and hundreds of Americans left behind, coupled with the images of desperate individuals falling to their deaths from the wings of American aircraft, will forever haunt and tarnish the Biden administration’s foreign policy agenda. This debacle never should have happened and has only emboldened the worst fantasies of our hegemonic adversaries. We need answers and accountability now because Biden’s promise to Build Back Better has resulted in nothing more than a Big Biden Blunder."
Background:
This bill directs the Comptroller General of the United States to deliver a report on the economic effects of the withdrawal of the United States Armed Forces from Afghanistan within 90 days of enactment.
In other words, this report shall study whether destroying, surrendering, or abandoning equipment and property of the United States in Afghanistan has caused any inflationary effect in the United States to date.
