Charles E. Grassley

This Committee needs to stop acting for the cameras and start working for the American people to finally deal with the massive deficit and debt that we have.

The President's budget estimates that making Obamacare subsidies permanent for higher income earners... will cost $273 billion over 10 years.

President Biden has repeatedly claimed that he wouldn't raise taxes on anyone making under $400,000.

Using Treasury's own analysis, isn't it accurate that those earning under $400,000 would see their tax burden increase?

Of the five trillion, approximately 2.7 trillion is targeted primarily at corporations.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Isn't this a sad political climate when a candidate Trump and a President Biden both say that they're not going to touch Social Security benefits.

I was cautiously optimistic hearing President Biden's call for bipartisanship and unity during his inaugural address, but boy, have I been disappointed.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, interest on the debt will total $870 billion this year, exceeding what we expect to spend on national defense.

A partisan president I find is so different from the bipartisan Senator Biden I worked with for 28 years in the United State Senate.

This budget offers nothing but false promises and a far-left wish list.

Are there any federal red tape problems to do what you just said?

So, explain to us how we could scale your effective model, so prevention and care coordination happens across the country?

We can also do a better job reducing clinical waste by focusing more on prevention and early intervention.

To make primary care more accessible and effective, we need to remove federal government barriers, lean on consumer choice and price transparency.

Growing healthcare costs don't just strain the American pocketbooks, these costs also are a major driver of widening budget deficits.

Abortion, above all, is a moral and legal issue.

As Senator Grassley has pointed out repeatedly, PHAs rely too heavily on local officials to be good stewards of billions of taxpayer dollars, which is no way to exercise fiduciary responsibility.

Left unchecked, our rapidly rising national debt will continue to place upward pressure on interest rates, making the American dream of homeownership less attainable.

In fact, it only makes things worse.

Before spending billions more on additional federal housing programs, we should take a good, hard look at why existing programs have fallen short.

I am pleased to be a co-sponsor of S. 3230, the Winnebago Land Transfer Act of 2023.

Climate change is a problem worthy of our attention. If Democrats want to discuss budgetary proposals related to climate change, we can have that debate, but it's clear they don't.

I'm not a climate change denier. I'm just not a climate change alarmist.

We've spent about five trillion dollars, globally, combatting climate change. I've asked witnesses, well, have we made a dent in it?
