We need to raise the debt ceiling. Without conditions.

The House Republicans have decided to use the debt ceiling to hold our Government and our economy hostage.

If the Supreme Court upholds the Fifth Circuit's ruling, it will devastate the CFPB and threaten the independent funding of many other Federal agencies.

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.

The Fed has raised interest rates eight times over the last year in what has been the most extreme rate hike cycle in 40 years.

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.

We cannot risk undermining one of the successes of our current economy.

This loophole is expected to provide investors with $134 billion in tax breaks over the next 10 years.

Americans are already suffering from severe lack of affordable homes, and any taxpayer money spent on housing should go toward fixing the problem, not making it worse.

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.

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.

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

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

Our choice could not be simpler.

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

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.

Responsible lawmakers should flat out refuse to cut a single dollar of investments for the 99 percent of Americans.

House Republicans are not interested in fiscal responsibility.
