I think one of the purposes of this and other hearings is just to underscore the cost of inaction and doing nothing.

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

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.

Yes, the prices of housing are too high, and the prices of groceries are too high. That is why the administration is working concretely to lower prices and why inflation is coming down now across the board. What do we get from the majority…

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…

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.

I am afraid I remain unilluminated as to what that amendment will do. Apparently, the purpose is to require a more detailed or technical description of the projected impact, or when an assessment required by the bill finds that there will…

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

I thank the gentleman for introducing his amendment, which would add yet another reporting dimension to this already wasteful, bureaucratic paperwork exercise when what the American people need, deserve, and are getting from the Biden…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas will be postponed. Amendment No. 15 Offered by Mr. Yakym The Acting CHAIR (Mr…

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…

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