the Biden administration's pie-in-the-sky initiatives pushing all-electrification of American transportation, including large trucks.

The President campaigned on a pie-in-the-sky goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Sadly, the Biden Administration doesn't seem to share this view.

But that costs a lot of money to the taxpayers. We always say Government needs to do something. It is the taxpayers that pays for all of this.

And now they want to electrify everything from your car or your truck to your barbecue, OK? Because it is just a fad now.

It just seems, about the only thing that we hear about, in committee, on the floor, is CO2, climate change, all the time--hounded, hounded, hounded.

We are turning our economy up on its head because of CO2 and the hype that is being made by all the regulators on this.

CO2 is not a poisonous gas unless you breathe 100 percent of it. It is ridiculous, what is going on here.

I heard your comments earlier about the success of the Direct File pilot program.

This kind of mowing and waiting... is going to hit its limits at some point.

Look, commercial property owners take risks, and losing money is one of them, but when the whole market crashes, that causes a problem that hurts all of us.

Congress gets this phenomenon. It is like last week's calm district work period before now facing a month of unpredictable governance in the House.

The longer we postpone the outcome, the bigger the balance grows and the greater the economic risk becomes.

I think that is what Wall Street does, and it is a good thing, but I do not know that we can look to that as necessarily a positive sign.

I am so frustrated with Congress for not taking up the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act.

I have not been fully satisfied with what we have said about the office situation.

The government should have seen it coming. Why didn't we? Maybe because Congress was negligent during the calm.

It was deliberately at a number that could ensure its success, actually.
