Joe Biden doesn't want our domestic producers to go get the oil. He wants to go ask OPEC to go get oil.

These climate accords, which, by the way, are not a treaty, because the President of the United States has not brought it to the Senate to be ratified.

I fail to see how that is the responsibility for the Oversight Committee, to enforce pledges that they choose or choose not to make.

This hearing is a complete and utter waste of time. I mean, this thing is ridiculous.

It is because of bad economic policy coming out of the White House.

This is a ridiculous hearing. We should be focused on so many other things.

If you cutoff energy, economies cannot thrive.

I think it is important as we have this debate, frankly, on a bill that was dropped last night with provisions that have gone through this Chamber before which, frankly, have gone nowhere in the Senate, it is important to understand for…

To, in my view, radically change the mandate into direct lending would actually cause significantly more problems and exacerbate those programs.

The reality is that the SBA is nowhere near capable from an institutional standpoint, from an infrastructure standpoint, from a capacity standpoint to address those needs

I believe it is a maybe. But in the world of lending, maybe is what costs you your customers money.

Well, we all know President Biden does not know much about the economy. We know this.

Come on. This thing is building us back broke.

The President of the United States has never worked a day in his life outside of Washington, D.C.

If we are not going to be any better than the Chinese, how do we ever expect to beat them on the world stage...

You need an apology because what I witnessed today was just rank intimidation by the chair of this committee.

It is about defending the ability of people in our country to be free, say what they want, think what they want, spend their money how they choose.

I thank my distinguished colleague from the Lone Star State, Dr. Babin. Mr. Speaker, I have been on this floor already a couple times this week talking about the 4.3 trillion or the 3.5 trillion--or maybe what they are saying on CNN…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, it is important that we are here this evening because the President of the United States and the majority party has never actually talked about what is in this bill. They would like to…

It will unilaterally remake our energy matrix; it will increase the cost on all Americans whether you get a government contract or not.

Americans like the word 'infrastructure.' I completely understand why, but that bill is far more than infrastructure.

I think anything that any legislation that disrupts the opportunity to transport materials right now is bad legislation.

Supply chain issues is really the core issue, one of the core issues affecting our economy in such a disastrous way.

My last point, and it is really an important question for you. We are discussing white supremacy.

There can be no quarter for terrorism from anywhere, whether it is around the globe or here at home, against anybody in our Nation.
