I think most of the fireworks are going to be down the hall and not in here; again, this is a work committee, not a show committee.

I don't think it is an exaggeration to describe it as a fiscal cliff, and I believe its effects will begin to be felt acutely as early as next year.

This is why this investment matters so much. That's why the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law matters so much.

This bill is a bipartisan effort done in good faith to secure the future of the U.S. aviation system.

I support high-speed rail in America. I just don't support this project.

Widening I-10 and adding an interchange is vital to improve safety, provide direct access to the Gila River Indian Community's government services and hospital.

I am concerned that there have been new criteria that have been introduced that is outside the confines of the law that I think distorts the awarding of grants.

I would like to request that you or your staff work with us while retaining proper oversight of the use of the funds.

I'm not saying there's not climate change. I'm not saying there's not scientific things we can do to keep a clean environment.

I remain focused on making sure these funds are out of the door as soon as possible.

This Committee continues delivering bipartisan solutions for all Americans, thanks to the leadership of Chair Graves.

Due to persistently high inflation, Americans continue to struggle to pay for food, clothing, gasoline, and other necessities with their hard-earned dollars.

Now more than ever, this Administration should be focused on real infrastructure improvements and policies that can help get us out of these crises.

When you look at everything that has been done under this administration... it became way too expensive and ancillary things added to it.

Effectively, this rising debt of the Federal Government will put increased pressure on Congress and this committee to fund infrastructure improvements through the general fund.

Frankly, these requested increases seem ill-advised and unjustifiable after years of record spending.

I want to be clear, I agree that, and I don't want to be perceived as saying that we shouldn't make investments because it's going to cause inflation.

I would like to put a stop to that.
