People know about the trillions spent in spending binge of the last Congress, and the costly administrative actions.

Your response to that?

I am told that by 2025, we will get that job done.

We will never put at risk the farm bill programs. That is what happened before.

How do you create a circumstance in a farm bill that basically says, yes, we have got to help those big guys. No problem with that. Do not forget about the rest of them, the 90 percent that are struggling every single year.

the more Congress borrows and spends, the higher interest rates will have to go up, and ultimately, it's families and small businesses that will suffer the economic consequences.

Let's actually do our job and have the Budget Committee mark up a budget resolution.

I am supportive of it, but let me just simply say I think you need to go beyond that.

This has been with us for a while.

Clearly, we aren't going to be able to tax our way out of the current fiscal mess.

90 percent of our farmers need help.

I'm going to start with Mr. Mangual. Last year, I held a field hearing in Iowa for the Drug Caucus that I co-chair with Chairman Whitehouse.

It would help a lot if the President would quit demagoguing the Social Security issue the way he has in recent weeks.

What you are hearing is uncertainty.

This administration has dramatically missed inflation for two years in a row.

It is my belief that the USDA's discretionary use of CCC undercuts this Committee farm bill process.
