Contrary to the misinformation we have heard from the other side of the aisle, the IRA is improving taxpayer service and improving tax compliance by the wealthy.

The reason for this incredible turnaround is clear. Democrats, led by this committee, finally gave the IRS the resources it needed to operate properly.

I have been long concerned about the unfair burden of enforcement that low-income taxpayers shouldered in recent years.

the IRA includes entirely new requirements in the tax code for domestic content, which incentivizes companies to onshore manufacturing of clean energy technology

The climate crisis is real, and its effects are only becoming more extreme.

What we have not seen is any plan that would reinvest in American workers and families.

I am disappointed that we are once again spending valuable time on political posturing against our clear successes, instead of working together to create American jobs, shore up our domestic supply chains, or catapult our nation to leading…

It is dishonest, because the truth is that the Inflation Reduction Act is one of the most impactful laws in our nation's history to reduce our reliance on China and other foreign markets and move jobs and supply chains back here to the…

Thank you, Mr. Chair, for gathering us to discuss how, in just eight months, the Inflation Reduction Act has done more for American workers and families than the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has done in almost six years.

States that implemented full family TANF sanctions for lack of compliance with work requirements actually had an increase of 12.7 percent in children entering foster care.

We are never told of what our options are. We are not told that this is available.

Childcare across the nation is extremely costly. In my home state of California, families pay more than $13,000 annually.

The overwhelming majority of TANF recipients are children.

The wide availability of guns in the wrong hands has yielded a drastic increase in gun violence deaths.

we clearly need it, that data transparency.

I commend you and the Biden Administration for proposing $512 million for the Title 10 Family Planning Program, the first increase since 2014.

We clearly need it, that data transparency.

I expressed support for a free trade agreement between the U.S. and Taiwan.

This is an encouraging step towards deepening economic relations.

I believe that a worker-centric trade policy must ensure that our trading partners protect intellectual property rights.

I am the co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Creative Rights Caucus.
