We cannot tax and spend our way to shared prosperity. Instead, we need to stop spending indiscriminately and make America the best place in the world to do business, pursue happiness, and earn success.

Much of the economic discussion we're having here is intellectually vacuous and dishonest

The left has made a commitment. They will pay for every dime of the spending in this package

What do you think the likelihood is that the Democrat majority here, in their constitutional oversight responsibility, will take that whistleblower complaint seriously and look into the fact that, if it is true, we have been lied to?

I appreciate the clarification. I know we are all trying to get our heads around it because things keep changing around here. Mr. Speaker, the gentlewoman from Oklahoma had a couple of things she wanted to share tonight. This is the first…

Yes, it is one of those last names. I have family members that have trouble pronouncing it. Parliamentary Inquiry

The promise of Dodd-Frank was it was going to become a disruption in financial markets, and we were going to see all sorts of new products and new competition.

I am actually fascinated with this subject.

I would like to say that Congresswoman Beatty has a great mask. It is wonderfully sparkly. I did want to share one thing very, very quickly. This is our CBO projection of where we are at right now. With the moneys that have already been…

Just a couple points. There is still $280 billion sitting in the payroll protection account. There is still $239 billion sitting in the health spending account. I am someone who, on a personal level--and I believe our Republican side of…

Look, I have a soft spot. My mother was from Baton Rouge. It is one of the reasons I love the food. And every time I hear your accent, I think of my extended family. But I wanted to give you some time. Tell us what is happening in your…

We will come back next week and do the Invest Act, and I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

I enjoyed it. Madam Speaker, there is a path. Will we step up and understand that the path turns out to be complicated? We are going to make some of our constituencies just elated with the opportunity to change. We are also going to…

Exactly, Madam Speaker. States are going to be a real issue, and then different lobbying organizations and different constituencies. Guess what? We don't have a choice. The single biggest threat to our Nation is the massive wave of debt…

I thank Representative Maloney for telling the story. You know, it is not just New Yorkers, I can't imagine there is an American who doesn't remember exactly where they were in that horrific moment. And it's a moment yet where those of us…

I just thought it is important for all of us to hear it on the Record that we are not opening up a new avenue of investigation because I need to be brutally honest that the language of the legislation, I don't think, is crisp enough on…

I thank the gentleman from New York (Mr. Reed) for yielding. Madam Speaker, the reason I am behind the microphone is because, in the committee, we actually asked the question of staff and others who were testifying that this look-back to…

I applaud this subcommittee for its recent action to advance a number of bills related to drug pricing.

This issue isn't just a few well-known bad actors.
