placing holds on hundreds of military promotions over a single policy disagreement is unconscionable. It is harming our national security, and it is going to have cascading effects for years. Not only will military services be left without…

It was a fascinating visit. They chop up these batteries, and they have processes that pull out not only the lithium, but the cobalt sulfite, the nickel sulfite, magnesium carbonate, and other materials, and then just sell them to…

Any additional steps that you think Congress should be focused on to ensure that e-waste which can be recycled does not end up in a landfill?

And that loan guarantee is helping you scale the company?

I didn't think we were going back to isolationism, but apparently that is the new road that we are setting out on.

Under the Constitution, only Congress has the power to lay and collect taxes.

Should we really give the OECD so much power?

American workers and taxpayers have paid the price for a system that rewards large, multi-national corporations...

Too much is at stake for our businesses and economy to let this train leave the station without American leadership and input.

It is a bad deal for the American taxpayers, it is a bad deal for American workers, it is a bad deal for American businesses just trying to keep their doors open for the next generation of U.S. workers.

the OECD, in its Pillar Two agreement, failed to recognize our pioneering Global Minimum Tax as a qualifying tax.

Many countries in Europe don't prize innovation or competitiveness like we do, and that is why so many of them come to the United States.

I think the most outrageous aspect of this whole thing--not to mention the fact that we have pleaded with you all to consult with Congress, and we got nothing, no response--is the fact that the tax base will be ceded to foreign…

Every member on this dais, regardless of where you think our--ultimately our tax laws should end up, should be absolutely outraged at how the Administration has used the OECD to circumvent your constitutional role in policy-making.

I don't like it whether it was the Trump Administration, or the Biden Administration forgoing and going around the--taking an end run on Congress.

It is a disgrace that American tax dollars are subsidizing an organization that is actively undermining American competitiveness abroad.

I think there is a strong consensus not just in this committee, but across the country, and certainly in the taxpaying community, that provisions such as UTPR are something that we don't want to agree with going forward, and that it is…

the agreement they came back with is so inconsistent with our tax laws that it would tilt the playing field in favor of foreign firms.

Unfortunately, that is not what happened.

The Global Minimum Tax is designed to level the playing field and put an end to underhanded profit shifting.

The right way to change our minimum tax regimes is to appeal to Congress or, if they say no, to voters.

We need to take every opportunity to remind the Biden Administration that the Constitution provides that Congress, not the executive branch, with the sole authority to lay and collect taxes.

Where in the Constitution does it say you need 60 votes to pass a bill?
