Well, not surprisingly, Republicans have had to delay the release of their tax plan because it is so deeply unpopular. We haven't seen all of the details yet, but what we know about it is that this is really bad for working families. The…

I appreciate the gentleman yielding, and particularly for this thoughtful amendment. I am from Flint; born and raised in Flint. I represent Flint. I was here on the floor and I was the one pushing for the legislation that the gentleman on…

I think all Americans and certainly Members of Congress agree that we need to simplify our Tax Code, make it easier for middle class families to get ahead and to stay ahead. Unfortunately, what we know about the Republican tax plan, as the…

It is clearly time for us to fix the vast problems within the credit reporting sector.

I thank the gentleman, my friend, for yielding. Mr. Chair, this is a subject that I think we have a great deal of experience on in this country. It is only a decade since the housing crisis wreaked havoc, not just on individual families…

This breach, the Equifax breach should never have happened.

What do we tell our constituents? How do they protect themselves from something like this?

I appreciate that. And perhaps, as we mentioned, you and I could find time to meet.

I am really concerned about continuing deep cuts to the Community Development Block Grant program.

Last week, Republicans brought their extreme budget to the floor, a budget that forces the middle class to pay more in taxes just to give the wealthiest Americans a massive tax break. This budget slashes investments in our future, such as…

I appreciate that, so long as we don't take the approach that the only way to help the programs is to just make them so small, that they are not consequential any longer.

Middle class families should be the focus of tax relief, not billionaires, not the wealthiest Americans. Unfortunately, the Ryan-McConnell tax plan fails that basic test. Independent analysis shows that the Republican plan would actually…

It is critical that the SEC closely examine these trades to determine, both for itself and the public at large, whether the individuals were taking advantage of knowledge that would not be publicly disclosed for another 6 weeks.

I believe it should require similar disclosures regarding political contributions, so that citizens can make informed decisions as they participate in the democratic process.

I thank my friend for yielding and for her leadership on this issue. Mr. Speaker, after what has happened in the last couple of days, this terrible tragedy in Las Vegas, this Congress should be spending every minute focusing on what we…

I am particularly concerned about policies that might impact that.

I know Mr. Capuano and I both have voiced concerns over these sales.

Here we are 9 months into the year, and the Republican-led Congress has zero major legislative accomplishments to show for it. While Democrats continue to offer an agenda that gives Americans a better deal, really a better life…

Well, this amendment is actually quite simple. It says that U.S. taxpayers should not subsidize coal-fired power plants built in other countries. Under the Obama administration, the Treasury Department issued guidance saying that the…

I am prepared to close. I just encourage my colleagues to think about this as an opportunity to stand up for the environment, stand up for responsible use of the American tax dollar, and keep in mind that we work really hard here on this…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 375, strike line 19 and all that follows through page 376, line 6. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House…

I would simply urge my colleagues to join me in this. I think we all know of these individual cases where the life of a young person is changed permanently because of an experience that they had finding meaning in work. Again, as I said at…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Michigan will be postponed. Amendment No. 133 Offered by Mr. Mitchell The Acting CHAIR. It…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 735, line 14, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $24,800,000)''. Page 770, line 18, after…

Again, I would just encourage my colleagues to support this amendment. I do appreciate very much my friend from Oklahoma's sincere support for the effort. Let's hope that the amendment passes. If it does not, I do look forward to working…
