David Schweikert

For everyone here, this is a subsidy bill. And this is the classic difference between the left and the right. They are functionally subsidizing. We on the right actually want to change the market. We want competition. So I am going to pull…

I have got to tell you, being on the Ways and Means Committee and never actually engaging in some of your Rules debate, you guys are really polite with each other. But here's a simple question: What are the two times in life you think you…

If I came to the body and said the bill we had all been working on, H.R. 8489--when you have someone like Lloyd Doggett and someone like me, and we are actually working together, we are working on some of the antifraud provisions, program…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question are postponed. ____________________

One of the reasons and one of the focuses for tonight's presentation is I am just frustrated because of the silliness that not only has become this body but even when you listen to the White House, Madam Speaker. So the White House is…

I have a motion to recommit at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Schweikert of Arizona moves to recommit the bill H.R. 4040 to the Committee on Energy and…

You hear everyone here all say something nice. We all like telehealth. I am frustrated because I can't get my head around why we are not going further. Outside the internal political theater, those of us who have worked on this legislation…

I have been coming behind this mike every week when we are here, sometimes for half an hour or an hour, and I have been basically taking the bark off our brothers and sisters on the left because of my belief that so much of the policy here…

I thank my friend from Florida. Madam Speaker, we are going to try to do the rapid boards and try to show some data of what is going on out there. What I am going to do is going to be a little harsh, but I need to beg the majority to think…

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I am going to yield to my friend from Florida, the sheriff, such time as he may consume. War on Affordable Energy

Then you start to understand the other policies we are going to pay for, for decades. Don't laugh. I have a little girl who is about to turn 7. Out of nowhere, my wife and I now have a little boy that is functionally 18 days old, one of…

I promise you, I am going to use all 5 minutes. This is the cruelty now to poor people, to the working poor, to that hardworking middle class, to those retirees. When you come to them and say, all right, let's take a look here. Forgive the…

Just because we are doing some organization and because we are all up against the tyranny of the clock, I yield to the gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. Mooney). Rugby World Cup

I am going to try something tonight because I am very, very concerned this place isn't paying attention to the numbers and how much trouble I believe we are in. My argument and my thesis is very simple: If I am wrong, I am wrong; but if I…

Look, this is functionally the same chart as the last one, except the point I am making on this one is we functionally moved from 1 trillion 726 billion up. Before that, we were at $1.3 trillion of household savings. The savings basically…

We are going to try to do a continuation on a theme. Last week, I came to the floor and sort of walked through what inflation was doing to seniors. Today, I am going to try to walk through what it is doing to the poor, the working poor…

I appreciate you and the staff's patience as I am racing up the elevator. We are going to do something that is new to me today. And please wave at me if I start machine gun speaking. And I have gotten teased about it a bit, so this week, I…

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 233. Members Recorded Pursuant to House Resolution 8, 117th Congress Barragan (Beyer) Bass (Blunt Rochester) Brown (MD) (Blunt Rochester) Brown (OH)…

It shows you how fast you can talk if you have been just sucking down coffee all day, Mr. Speaker. I should throw this out: I have had the pleasure of sitting there when I have someone on the other side, and I know it is sometimes like…

We are going to try to do the impossible. We are going to do like 20 boards in 30 minutes. Just please wave at me if I start rambling at hyper rates of speed. One of the reasons for today's presentation, it is somewhat of a follow-up from…

I am going to do something this evening that isn't sort of traditional for me because I mostly do economics. I tried to do that circle of how everything ties together, and I accept I get a little geeky. For those who are trying to keep an…

One more time, I am going to do something that is a little difficult, and I apologize for you being the poor person in the chair when we do this. I am going to walk through inflation. I don't think we understand the damage, the economic…

Forgive me. I have been trying to talk fast so as to not chew it all up. Mr. Speaker, in a couple of the pieces of legislation that passed here, we have put aside boatloads of cash to run wire to rural America, and they deserve to have…

So in the President's proposal, in the Democrats' proposals, they want to tax the rich more. The new President Biden's budget, I think, has 36 new taxes in it. But here is the great irony. Okay. So they want to do this one tax where they…

You do realize what is going on here, and I am going to be a little sarcastic because I am frustrated. Insulin prices are outrageous. But why is it outrageous? The fact of the matter is our regulatory mechanic and our payment mechanic are…
