The Affordable HOMES Act does exactly that by cutting red tape, restoring clarity, and helping builders build and families buy. Despite claims made by my Democratic colleagues about the Affordable HOMES Act, it does not raise existing…
I will reiterate that saying something false over and over again doesn't make it true. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I say to the gentlewoman the facts do matter. Her Members are complaining…
I would like to inquire if the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern) is prepared to close. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I am not prepared to close yet. There may be someone else.
