Even so, congressional Democrats want to ban fracking, prohibit offshore development, and curtail feasible solutions to high fuel prices.

The actions and delays by the Biden administration... have put our nation's energy security and economic prosperity at risk.

I rise again in support of my amendment and ask my colleagues to do the same, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title) insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

We need to mine here in America with American miners, American labor.

It's unbelievable that you chose other workers over the American worker, and it's unbelievable that you and your administration won't allow mining here in Minnesota and the United States.

Do you think that it's fair for your administration to force constituents to purchase these electric vehicles when they're not working in especially northern Minnesota?

My constituents would have to work a full year to pay for this unreliable car and would barely have enough left over to care for their family.

Would you agree it's $7,500?

We want them to follow the facts, the science, and the truth, not political science.

So, they are not following the Inflation Reduction Act as intended.

I am really disappointed to hear that, but, unfortunately, not surprised. This Administration did not seek the input of my constituents in northeastern Minnesota.

I don't believe all people were consulted. In fact, many of them found out through a newspaper, when it affected their livelihood, their economy, and their way of life.

The consultation appeared to be with the native community that supported this Administration's philosophy of anti-development.

The simple truth is we will continue to need conventional energy for the foreseeable future.

It is President Biden that did this.

This Administration has set an anti-development, anywhere-but-America agenda

The biggest copper nickel mine in the world, and this Administration took off 225,000 acres when we need those minerals for our everyday lives and to move forward.

The disgust that our friends in Alaska have experienced these last couple of weeks, and actually, for the last 2½ years, because this Administration, I believe it is 55-plus projects now they have shut down in the great state of Alaska…

This Administration's failed energy policies.

I rise today to speak in favor of H.R. 5427, legislation that would ensure that criminals are prevented from taking advantage of the taxpayers.

This administration has a blatant disregard for rural America.

I support Representative Golden's legislation. I think it is needed. It has been needed for a while.

Having been a former police officer, I was to many violent crashes because of the inattentive drivers and texting.

We have to recognize the danger of that. And I think that our professional truckdrivers across this country see it every day, and it is horrendous.
