Only in Joe Biden's America, is the solution to an inflation-induced -- spending-induced inflation crisis more spending.

What is different about the United States is bad fiscal policy compounded by monetary policy errors.

I don't know how the government says the inflation rate is 8.6 percent, because for those of us in the real economy, it feels more like twice or three times that rate.

I encourage the Fed to exercise fortitude in restoring price stability and staying focused even in the face of financial market volatility.

I appreciate your humility in acknowledging that both the Biden Administration and the Fed were wrong last year when they assessed inflation to be transitory.

Instead of diverting the Fed's focus away from their responsibility of tackling inflation, the Federal Reserve should be focused on dealing with inflation. If Democrats were truly interested in helping low- and moderate- income households…

I worry that a CBDC, even an intermediated CBDC, would still result in $720 billion in deposits leaving the banking system.

FinCEN must also guard against the temptation to add to the haystack endlessly, simply so it can collect more and more data on Americans.

Congressional oversight of FinCEN is long overdue.

My bill would allow for special approval, specific waivers or licenses, special licenses but not a general license on the gas, and escrow that and create a carrot, not just a stick but a carrot for Putin that he would get the proceeds of…

The weakness in the sanctions regime against Russia right now is the general license for energy-related transactions.

Let's get more lethal military assistance to Taiwan as soon as possible.

A revived Iran deal would run directly counter to the sanctions that have been imposed.

I urge you to review 1071. Don't force these community banks to exit small business lending in rural areas if you care about these banking deserts.

This is what President Zelensky is asking for when he says we need to be tougher on sanctions.

I have a bill called the No Energy Revenues for Russian Hostilities Act that would close that loophole...

I think that would be an invitation for aggression.

I think that would be a strong signal that we stand with Taiwan.

They need that now. They need that now.

I urge your consideration.

This is what is financing this war. These energy-related transactions are supplying Putin with the hard currency that he needs to execute this unprovoked aggression against the innocent people of Ukraine.

I will say one thing we could do more is to sanction the energy-related transactions, which we are not doing.

I mistakenly voted. I intended to vote ``nay'' on rollcall No. 95. Members Recorded Pursuant to House Resolution 8, 117th Congress Baird (Walorski) Bilirakis (Fleischmann) Bowman (Meng) Crist (Wasserman Schultz) Cuellar (Pappas) DeGette…

I look forward to continuing to be an advocate for innovation and American leadership in this space.

I subscribe to my good friend, Juan Vargas', citation to Scripture that we need to really care for these people.
