It creates the highest sustained tax burden in American history, and nearly doubles tax collections over the next 10 years.

What concerns me, as a Republican leader on the Budget Committee, is that Dr. Anthony Fauci's recently publicized emails show a clear link between American taxpayer dollars and labs that outsource research outside of the United States.

President Biden is bent on finding new ways to tax America while countries like China outcompete us on the global stage.

Under President Biden's budget, government spending reaches historic highs and raises our national debt to unsustainable levels.

As President Biden has said repeatedly, don't tell me what you value, show me your budget, and I will tell you what you value.

I believe that it is the responsibility of GAO to make this decision very quickly.

We are all ready to stand in a committee room with a mask or without a mask in an in-person hearing.

What is happening with President Biden's hold is that he is specifically thwarting the appropriation. He wants to defy the law in implementing that program.

It also could not be more necessary given the actions of President Biden when it comes to the crisis on our southern border.

The President's decision to withhold funding on the border wall, along with other actions his Administration has taken, have only fueled a national security and humanitarian crisis at the southern border.

I think it's pretty straightforward that this Administration is violating the law.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 384, nays 38, not voting 6, as…

I will just say that Republicans don't cut Medicare. In fact, the Biden bailout bill that was passed cut $36 billion a year in Medicare. Yet, the Senate Democrats have not done anything in regard to those Medicare cuts to seniors in the…

What are we then to take by a lack of budget from the President over 60 days into his presidency?

As Speaker Pelosi likes to say, show me your budget, show me your values.

Where is the budget plan for all of that? Where is the accounting for how high those taxes will need to go...

It is costing taxpayers roughly $775 per day to provide room and board for each unaccompanied minor who crosses the southern border.

It is no secret that Democrats wish to impose some form of a green new deal like program on America...

I would like to remind the gentlewoman from Illinois that actions speak louder than words, and that the Democrats did not help the folks in 2017, since the gentlewoman tried to point out the hypocrisy. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the…

I have a motion to recommit at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Smith of Missouri moves to recommit the bill, H.R. 1868 to the Committee on the Budget. The…

I would like to remind the body that the reason we are here today is because of the reckless behavior. All of these cuts on Medicare are because House Democrats forced through a nearly $2 trillion spending bill. The reason we have the…

Let's put the healthcare of our seniors ahead of prisoners, illegal immigrants, and the political class. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 202, nays 216, not voting 11, as…

I appreciate the gentlewoman from New York, and I would like to remind her that, in her home State, she has 16 percent--16 percent--of the country's homeless population in the United States; but under this bailout, the CBO projects that…

I appreciate the gentleman from New York, and I will remind him that, with passage of this bill, his State's 3 million seniors could see a cut to Medicare of $27 billion over the next 10 years. I would also like to remind Mr. Jeffries that…
