Maxine Waters

There are already serious indications that we are headed for trouble.

The tax scam that the Congressional Republicans and President Trump pushed through, explodes the deficit and raises taxes on 86 million American families to help out big corporations and very wealthy individuals.

This President has started a trade war that is already harming American consumers and companies.

I am very concerned about the impact of the reckless economic policies of Donald Trump on hardworking Americans, vulnerable families, and our Nation's economy.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Ranking Member of the Financial Services Committee.

He has released an outrageous plan that will triple rents of the lowest income households and put 1.7 million Americans at risk of eviction and homelessness.

If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, in a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them. And you tell them they are not welcome anymore, anywhere.

Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell…

It is alarming how virtual currencies, especially newer ones, are being used to finance terrorism, launder money, and purchase drugs and weapons on the dark Web.

Unfortunately, under the Republican tax scam, the value of these tax credits has decreased.

According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, 11 million rental households in the United States pay over 50 percent of their income on rent.

This giveaway to wealthy individuals, Wall Street banks, and big corporations, explodes deficits by trillions.

This law has been very intentionally engineered by my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to benefit huge corporations on Wall Street.

The tax scam contains massive giveaways to the Nation's largest banks.

The American public has the right to know if he plans to follow in the deregulatory and anticonsumer footsteps of this Administration.

President Trump supported both the Volcker Rule and reimposing Glass-Steagall on the campaign trail, but the Administration has quickly backed away from those positions.

Since taking office, the Trump Administration has consistently taken actions that hurt Main Street and benefit Wall Street.

I believe that Congress has a responsibility to ensure that our economy and laws work fairly for everyone.

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Burgess). The gentlewoman has 8 minutes remaining.

I was absolutely troubled by the fact that this Administration's funding budget for 2019 requests for cutting the Department of Housing and Urban Development's funding by $11 billion.

I am very pleased that the people of the city and the county voted to tax themselves in order to... increase housing.

I am very, very concerned about this situation in Los Angeles.

Please, do not eliminate any housing vouchers. We need more.

Some of us have been calling on this committee to turn its attention to homelessness for more than 5 years.

The testimony to us should shock us all, with the 55,188 people experiencing homelessness in the Los Angeles area.
