There is no option for our citizens other than a federally operated insurance system that covers everyone.

No one has a better idea for dealing with this crisis than Medicare for All.

Medicare for All is the obvious choice to America’s healthcare woes.

Of course, congratulations to the victors. It is getting old. I had that trophy for a little while. I haven't seen it in quite some time.

I want to respond one more time to these claims about 87,000 new IRS agents. The IRS has never made any announcement about plans to hire any number of agents. The Washington Post fact-checker has actually given that claim three Pinocchios…

We just heard the big lie a couple more times about 87,000 IRS agents that are going to be armed. It is total bunk. Nonsense. The Republicans should stop it and tell the truth. They are continuing to say it. I will say one thing. We were…

That is not our party.

We would need to hire 400 new teachers and build two new schools.

We need to be much better at that.

We were trying to get money to businesses, we were trying to get money to state and local governments.

We did not commit child abuse. That is an absurd statement. Forgive me, Speaker Gingrich.

When we passed welfare reform it was principled, work-oriented, a system wide overhaul, and it worked.

As President Ronald Reagan said, the greatest social program is a job.

My name is on it as the author, even though I didn't write one word of it.

The fact is that the Clinton-Gingrich budgets worked, they reduced the inflation rate, they reduced the tax rate, they created jobs.

If every life were truly sacred in this country, we wouldn't be having a hearing about programs to keep mothers and their children healthy, fed, and cared for, we would be fully funding them.

What we are lacking is the bipartisan support needed to get it done.

Given the current rate of inflation, the idea we ought to pile more money into the system is an almost suicidal act of hubris.

Thank you, Mr. Malik, for your testimony.

What was the effective rate that corporations----

A lot of companies were paying zero.

You want to talk about success for working people, talk about the American Rescue Plan.

But President Biden and Democrats acted boldly to deliver a relief package that met the scale of the crisis.

There are 9 million acres already under lease that they have.
