One can only regard with amazement the gentleman's insinuation that I want to hand power to the executive branch when we have been acting here in Congress to pass the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and to pass the Inflation…

I thank the distinguished gentlewoman from Minnesota for yielding. Just to recap where we are from yesterday, the whole Congress eagerly awaited to hear what the big anti-inflation initiative would be coming from the GOP side of the aisle…

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…

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…

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…

It is always a pleasure to hear my friend from Texas, Mr. Roy, who mentions something which sounded like a substantive suggestion about ending corporate subsidies, or perhaps I intuited or interpreted that. If he wants to work on…

I claim the time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR: The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5 minutes.

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

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 demand a recorded vote. The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Illinois will be postponed. Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Comer The CHAIR. It is now in order to…

I just repeat my puzzlement from before. Perhaps if Mr. Cloud would yield for another question. What is the inflationary impact of debt servicing costs? Have there been any economic studies on that? Madam Chair, I yield to the gentleman…

Reclaiming my time, I don't know what the reason for that is, and thank you for educating me. I wasn't aware of it. I assume they are saying the inflation rate is higher in urban areas than it is in rural areas, which is, presumably, why…

Due to testing positive for COVID-19 and following recommended isolation protocols, I was unable to vote today. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall no. 122, ``nay'' on rollcall no. 123, and ``nay'' on rollcall no…

Reclaiming my time, this very constructive colloquy, I think, underscores the importance of actually having hearings in Congress. This is legislation that sprung out of someone's head somewhere and then appeared on the House floor without…

I think we all recognize that we have to put sanctions in context that it is one tool but a very important tool.

As far as I understand, the amendment just adds one more unnecessary detail to the report, creating greater administrative burden and taxpayer costs that are still undefined. It is unclear why it is necessary. If it is necessary, it should…

I reclaim my time. I think the gentleman raises a very interesting point. I would love to know the answer as to whether or not it is actually incorporated today in what the inflationary or deflationary effects are of debt servicing costs…

So that is true across the board in terms of all of the economic indicators that we read about, whether it is the OMB or the-- --
