Charles E. Grassley

America's fiscal problems are serious and Republicans are working to tackle those problems head on.

I do hear a lot from my constituents about preserving Medicare, and I agree that we should be doing that.

I think I ought to point out that it's been very public, it's a matter of public record that President Biden himself aggressively took advantage of it to save himself as much as $500,000.

Many taxpayers accept complexity that favors them.

Unfortunately, I think our--the current administration is sort of opposed to making a strong statement and to promote the use of gas for energy security and cost effectiveness.

You know, quite regularly we Are preached at by corporate elitists that think that we ought to be carbon-neutral by some arbitrary dates, and then we see the hypocrisy of how they fly around the world in their private jets.

Bipartisanship is going to be really, really necessary if we're ever going to crawl out of our deep fiscal hole that we're in right now.

How have sensationalized emissions scenarios come to dominate the discourse of climate change risk?

Many risk assessment firms use extreme hypothetical data when evaluating climate risk for commerce.

Yeah, I'd like to go to Mr. Theodorou, and follow-up a little bit where Senator Van Hollen's subject was brought up.

The budget continues this country on a destructive path of deficits and debt.

This is a breach of the President's pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class.

It calls for nearly 5 trillion dollars in new taxes that will kill jobs, and punish hard-working Americans.

It is my belief that the USDA's discretionary use of CCC undercuts this Committee farm bill process.

Yes. See, I am going to start out with my favorite subject every time we have a farm bill up, on farm payment limitations.

Only Congress has the power to approve treaties.

It would help a lot if the President would quit demagoguing the Social Security issue the way he has in recent weeks.

Lawmakers should address the projected trust fund shortfalls in a timely way in order to phase in necessary changes gradually and give workers and beneficiaries time to adjust to them.

This administration has dramatically missed inflation for two years in a row.

Your response to that?

People know about the trillions spent in spending binge of the last Congress, and the costly administrative actions.

The President in this budget's supporting documents continue to falsely claim that he is a deficit reducer.

The more Congress borrows and spends, the higher interest rates will have to go up, and ultimately, it's families and small businesses that will suffer the economic consequences.

Let's actually do our job and have the Budget Committee mark up a budget resolution.

Clearly, we aren't going to be able to tax our way out of the current fiscal mess.
