May I inquire as to how much time is remaining? The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Bucshon). The gentleman from Maryland has 2\1/ 2\ minutes remaining.

I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Jeffries), the distinguished minority leader.

The Biden administration brought Trump's unemployment rate, which was skyrocketing, down. We went from 14.8 percent to less than 4 percent, creating 12 million new jobs. Now, President Biden is bringing down the soaring inflation rate he…

Now we move from the ludicrous to the absurd to the sublime. Yesterday, they wanted a report from the President upon issuance of an executive order for executive orders having an inflationary impact or having an economic impact of $1…

In my state of Maryland, we're experiencing lots of costs and impacts from climate change and sea level rise.

I thank the gentleman for his extraordinarily insightful and significant remarks. The only exception I would take is when he referred to extreme MAGA. We actually had a colloquy about this yesterday with the good gentlewoman from Colorado…

In my state of Maryland, we're experiencing lots of costs and impacts from climate change and sea level rise.

So I believe our colleagues are coming clean. They opposed the American Rescue Act, which was absolutely essential legislation to get the country out of the Trump economic wreckage during the last administration. We had 14.8 percent…

I don't know that there is much left to say on the substance of this amendment. I did hear my colleague from Pennsylvania make some sort of disparaging remark about Maryland and about how he didn't live in Maryland, where, apparently, we…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And just listening to the conversation, a couple points. I look forward, to Senator Braun's point, to having a budget debate.

I would like to say a word about China, who actually has a ten-year lead on the United States when it comes to investment in the batteries that are used for storage for electric vehicles.
