I have been trying to quickly understand the role and responsibility of all of the Inspectors General related to the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan.

Constantly, all that we hear from small businesses is, 'I just don't have access to capital.'

Anti-Asian-American violence has skyrocketed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, fueled significantly by former President Donald Trump's dangerous and xenophobic language.

This committee should be doing everything that it can to avoid a calamitous outcome.

If House Republicans continue their brinkmanship over the debt ceiling, it will result in even more severe interest rates hikes, a plunging stock market, major job losses, and a recession of epic proportions.

This time some projections on what would happen if the U.S. defaulted on its debt indicate that the global economy itself could freeze if the United States' Treasury market collapse.

Such a global financial crisis would hand the Chinese Communist Party a massive win by boosting the Chinese government's standing in the world.

Can you explain how allowing the U.S. to default on its debt would benefit the Chinese government by causing irreversible damage to the U.S. dollar status as a global reserve currency?

Even though an agreement was reached, and we didn't default, Republicans are yet again actively working to risk unleashing the same devastation or worse as they did just over a decade ago.

I am focused on making sure that our economy is strong and that we are all united in ways that would put us in a position to deal with China or anyone else who interferes with our ability to carry out our democratic commission methods.

I include in the Record the list of Republicans. 1. Ralph Norman (R-SC): $306,520--member of Rules. 2. Roger Williams (R-TX): $1.43 million--member of FSC. 3. Matt Gaetz (R-FL): $476,000. 4. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA): $180,000. 5. Greg…

The ex-President who still thinks he is President said, ``I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, `This is genius.' Putin declares a big portion of Ukraine--of Ukraine--Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that…

I would reiterate to my colleagues: I love Social Security. I love Medicare. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the former majority leader.

Mr. Williams is my friend, but I do wonder whether Mr. Williams views the $1.43 million he received in debt forgiveness as being consistent with his views on socialism. I don't get it. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from…

Democrats support the Justice Department, and CFPB has appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn this absurd ruling.

I am looking forward to working with the ranking member.

I commend the CFPB for its announced plans to create an online registry of companies which have violated consumer financial protection laws.

Thank you for holding this important hearing, Chairman Sherman, and for your strong focus on investor protection throughout your tenure as Chair of this subcommittee.

We are going to continue to fight for housing, despite the fact we did not get the support that was needed from the opposite side of the aisle.

Protecting our national interests is not a partisan issue.

Each year, billions of dollars of capital from the United States is invested into companies owned by, controlled by, or affiliated with China and Russia, undermining our national security.

But that's how democracy works.

This side of the aisle applauds President Biden on student loan forgiveness. It's very important.

I really don't believe that you would have been as serious and intentional, not just the window dressing that you've done for years.

You sucked before that. And many of you still have a lot of work to do.
