CBO has found that CMMI has not lowered Medicare spending.

MSSP had net savings.

CBO's conclusion was that it added to federal spending.

President Biden's Medicare proposal and President Obama's Affordable Care Act both double counted Medicare revenue.

We always hear this business about raising taxes on the rich.

Too often Democrats claim that Republicans want to cut Medicare every time we mention the troubles facing the program.

Democrats have proposed and enacted major cuts to Medicare, often using the program as a piggy bank to pay for unrelated spending.

The proposal currently touted by the Chairman would push the top marginal tax rates above 50%, impose a 37.4 percent top rate on capital gains.

The chairmans proposed capital gains tax hike is a revenue loser.

The only way to make these critical programs sustainable is to follow the Ronald Reagan, Tip O'Neal model of 1983.

Republicans want to preserve and strengthen this program for future generations.

I think the facts are clear that Bidenomics has failed lower and middle income Americans.

I'll start with you, Dr. de Rugy, you pointed out in your testimony very well, the unsustainable fiscal path and--and we have--got to do something about the Federal debt.

I've authored several major tax laws. I've seen the results letting working families and businesses keep more of their hard earned money.

Democrats like to claim any government spending they happen to like as an investment.

What role did the fact that our pre-pandemic economy was the strongest it's been in years play in the speed of recovery rather than the inflationary policies of this administration?

Iowans aren't buying into this proposition that--it's brought prosperity for all, and they're not alone.

Consumer prices have risen more than 17% since President Biden took office.

Trickle-down economics through tax cuts for the rich is a proven failure.

The solution to the H-1B program is contained in your bill, which is raising wages, and selecting workers who are better.

It ensures that U.S. workers have a legitimate shot at the jobs, and the job openings.

Why are we setting wages so low, you're inducing and incentivizing firms to bring in lower paid H-1B workers.

Mr. Rector, I think you touched a little bit on my first question, so I'll give you a chance to elaborate.

Before we entertain any increases in these programs, they have to be fixed.

Everything you've said about legal immigration, I want to say that I associate myself with your remarks
