Chair Powell, I look forward to hearing today how the Fed will protect American workers in the fight against inflation, and promote an economy with a strong, growing middle class.

Those days for banking executives are over.

Meanwhile, corporations somehow always find a way to increase their profits. They always find a way.

More policymakers are finally recognizing what those of us in Ohio have known for years--that outsourcing the production of pretty much everything may mean higher profits in the short-term, but it will not lead to a resilient economy with…

In April, the Black unemployment rate hit 4.7 percent, the lowest in 50 years.

This is the strongest labor market for American workers in decades, thanks to the work that two of you have done on the Fed to help that happen.

Ultimately, this forced EV transition will disproportionately burden working-class Americans.

Congress never directed California to dictate America's vehicle emissions and also did not authorize the EPA to force vehicles that the agency does not like off the road.

It is not China. China continues to increase their carbon emissions.

Since when is the United States of America following China's lead?

At the end of the day, this is a national security discussion.

I am encouraged that the EPA decided to pull back on the eRINs program from the final set proposal...

For many Americans, this is pushing them toward vehicles that they cannot afford and into vehicles that don't make sense, especially for rural Americans like those in my district.

I don't agree for a moment, and this proposed rule is an affront to representative government.

Americans deserve to have the choice to decide what mode of transportation suits them best.

It is the American taxpayer who will pay for this so-called transition.

And one of my concerns is that EPA is driving us down a road where we are going to be dependent upon Chinese cars--not just the minerals, not just the raw materials, not just the processing, but also the cars themselves.
