We thank you for your leadership in introducing S. 923, the Better Mental Health Care for Americans Act.

There is an enormous burden of unnecessary administrative cost from that.

the Congressional Budget Office estimates that fossil fuel subsidies led to a minimal impact of about a half a percent more domestic oil production.

It has been extremely important for people who are in recovery to be able to talk to their peer recovery coaches and to the people who are providing them treatment.

I think the way out of most of those problems is comprehensive payment reform.

We recommend that the committee advance this legislation expeditiously.

My preferred policy is a border adjusted carbon tax that creates incentives to account for the costs for energy use.

If we end up going into this Republican threatened default, and all the pain and calamity that all of the witnesses have forecast comes to pass, people in America are going to want to know who is responsible.

What is in plain view in the House Default on America Act is 275 out of 315 pages that are giveaways to the fossil fuel industry.

Fossil fuel subsidies move us away from energy prices that accurately represent the extensive external costs associated with their use.

For the record, the MAGA extremists in the House who were essential to McCarthy's speakership have said that nothing less than the Default on America Option will pass.

The Default on America Act doesn't even protect veterans healthcare, one of our fundamental obligations to the men and women who put their lives on the line for our country.

my hard earned experience tells me that when the Republican Party acts on pollution related and corruption related issues, the Party acts as the glove for fossil fuels dark hand.

It would be fair to describe that as crashing the American solar industry.

Make no mistake, it doesn't matter who you vote for, what state you live in, or what you make. If House Republicans get their way it is going to make your life worse.

On Monday, Leader Schumer, along with Senators Murray, Wyden and I introduced a two page bill to stave off default through the end of 2024.

MAGA Republican's dangerous bill poses a terrible choice.

It comes as no surprise that a bill from House Republicans, of whose 315 pages, 275 are dedicated to handouts to the fossil fuel industry, would if implemented, also crash their competition, the solar industry.
