I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Reschenthaler) for yielding. I rise to oppose the previous question so that we can immediately consider Representative French Hill's H.R. 8589 to prohibit the Securities and Exchange Commission…
Let me respond to my friend from Maryland on some of the specific points that he made in rebuttal to my opposition to the previous question. The gentleman says that we don't want to talk about the underlying bills. What Republicans want to…
We may have found a point of bipartisan agreement that we all dislike Vladimir Putin. But one of the main reasons why Vladimir Putin was able to invade Ukraine was the removal of deterrence: unilaterally waiving sanctions on Nord Stream 2…
There is a reason why the American people are angry and anxious, and that’s because they are worse off under the policies of congressional Democrats and Joe Biden.
Democrats are advocating a dangerous policy of not only defunding the police, but eliminating cash bail, eliminating qualified immunity for law enforcement – and, and homicides are up 15% in this country. Americans want security and…
When Joe Biden and his campaign promised the American people that, 'Oh, taxes were not going to go up for people earning less than $400,000,' that was a lie. This bill is going to come at the expense of the American people.
Republicans are going to win landslide elections not just because Joe Biden has done such a poor job and congressional Democrats have failed the American people on the economy, crime and the border, but because we have a positive agenda to…
Only in Joe Biden's America, is the solution to an inflation-induced -- spending-induced inflation crisis more spending.
That's what the American people care about. And politicians who obsess about the past are not in touch with the American people.
We are experiencing a crime wave -- 15% increase in homicides because of the defund police movement.
Whether it is Putin's price hike, corporate greed, transitory--depending on the day, Madam Speaker, these are just some of the false narratives in the laundry list of excuses President Biden and Democrats have used to try to explain away…
What is different about the United States is bad fiscal policy compounded by monetary policy errors.
I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 346. Members Recorded Pursuant to House Resolution 8, 117th Congress Allred (Neguse) Barragan (Correa) Bentz (Obernolte) Bowman (Neguse) Brown (MD)…
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.
I encourage the Fed to exercise fortitude in restoring price stability and staying focused even in the face of financial market volatility.
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 thank my good friend, Kevin Hern, from the great State of Oklahoma not only for his leadership on the Republican Study Committee Budget and Spending Task Force--ably chairing that committee--but also as an advocate for more domestic…
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…
For over a year, Democrats have dismissed the historic inflation crushing American households. First, they said it was transitory. Then, they played it down as a high-class problem. Now, President Biden ridiculously and falsely refers to…
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.
I thank the gentleman from South Carolina for his leadership on the Foreign Affairs Committee, his leadership in the Congress, and his advocacy for the free people of Ukraine. Mr. Speaker, as the United States, our NATO allies, and other…
Politicians like Andy Barr
