What the President has put forward is he said, I want to do this the other way. I want to invest in America, I want to invest in middle class people and working families.

I think it says, we're taking you on. Look, the Republicans have made clear what they want to do. They want no tax increases for the wealthy and the well connected, and they want to impose a lot of cuts on everybody else.

Some of my colleagues have threatened the Nation's full faith and credit by holding the debt ceiling hostage for partisan politics.

You are gambling with people's lives, and there is a pile of data showing the price gouging and supply chain kinks and the war in Ukraine are driving up prices.

We need a Fed that will fight for families, and if you are not going to lead that charge we need someone at the Fed who will.

And putting 2 million people out of work is just part of the cost, and they just have to bear it?

Well, but it is, and it is in your report, and that would be about 2 million people who would lose their jobs, people who are working right now making their mortgages.

I am just looking at the numbers.

Some of my colleagues have threatened the Nation's full faith and credit by holding the debt ceiling hostage for partisan politics.

Unemployment is at a historic low, 3.4 percent. That is not just a number.

For the first time in decades, workers are finally starting to get a little power in this economy.

So that's a pretty grim picture about what's going on, and it's particularly alarming because, in 2021, investors bought up one-quarter of all single-family homes that were on the market.

The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit is not perfect, but it helps drive the development of affordable rental homes.

For decades the country has underinvested in our housing supply, and the data I see suggests we're now facing a shortage of as many 7 million affordable homes.

Please ensure that we have sufficient funds to continue this most important work.

The debt ceiling won't authorize new spending, but failing to increase it when needed would cause the U.S. Government to default on its obligations.

House Republicans don't seem concerned about the upcoming debt limit deadline.

House Republicans are not interested in fiscal responsibility.

We could make the tax system a whole lot fairer as part of what we are doing here.

So serious conversations about reducing the national debt should start with rebalancing our tax system, not start with how to hurt families.

Year after year, the Republican playbook has been simple--more help for their rich buddies and more economic pain for everyone else.

So the job cuts lead to more job cuts, in your case.

These MAGA House Republicans are threatening to cut the little bit of funding that we do have going into childcare.

I want you to imagine if your Federal funding is cut by 78 percent.

The United States has been underinvesting in childcare for decades.
