Virginia Foxx

I appreciate Mr. Molinaro's amendment. I support it, and I appreciate his working to make a good bill better.

For purposes of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Scott), the ranking member of the Committee on Education and the Workforce, pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. General…

Our colleagues are opposed to freedom in choosing healthcare. They want everyone in government-controlled healthcare and are quite willing to mislead the American people on what these bills do. Madam Chair, I yield 3 minutes to the…

Thank you, Dr. Smith.

I look forward to facilitating that shift in a bipartisan effort with my colleagues, by reauthorizing the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, WIOA.

Again, our colleagues continue to try to mislead the American people about what this bill does. These plans cannot cherry-pick, cannot exclude, and must cover preexisting conditions. The opposition to this bill from our colleagues across…

My colleagues have said that this is overdrawn in terms of the way the CRA was written, the Congressional Review Act was written, and that it does too much. It gets into too many other things other than simply turning back the President's…

I think it is good for Congress to set these analytic standards for agencies.

The Biden Administration has displayed a pattern of grossly underestimating the cost of new regulations while greatly exaggerating the purported benefits.

the Biden Administration's regulatory overreach is out of control.

We cannot allow this disregard for the cost imposed by the Federal Government through regulations on families, businesses, and even local governments to continue increasing unaddressed.

the cost in the Biden Administration in the first 2 years is about $10,000 per household of rules and regulations.

Instead of standing up for parents, the Biden administration has pushed to make it easier for children with healthy bodies to access puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and life-altering irreversible surgeries.

It is unfortunate that you do not have the same feeling about protecting the lives of unborn children, so that they would have the chance to be born and live life.

The so-called Green New Deal has reared its ugly head again, thanks to the Biden administration and its allies in Congress. Their newest attempt to prop up this failed radical agenda involves the banning of gas cooking appliances that…

the family is the most basic unit of society, and parents have the inalienable right and responsibility to educate and rear their children.

I hope and pray 1 day that the history books look back and realize just how crazy the policies of this administration are.

In most cases you have responded to Committee's inquiries with a vague letter providing none of the requested documents.

During your short tenure, your track record appears to be about the same as his.

I take my duty to conduct oversight very seriously.

Mandatory spending programs are the overflowing sinks that have bedeviled Congress for decades on end. Two- thirds of all Federal spending is allocated to mandatory spending programs, and there are few constructive opportunities to curb…

I have no objection. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the offending words are withdrawn. There was no objection. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will proceed in order.

My colleagues want us to feel so sorry for these people who took out these loans and who are not going to pay them back. My colleague in the 12th District of North Carolina said 121,000 people in her district. Mr. Speaker, you know who I…

I would let Representative Davis know that in Illinois 11,655,200 people don't have student debt, and they will be the ones bearing the cost of the transfer from 90,800 people. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Tennessee…

I demand that words be taken down. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will suspend. The gentleman will take a seat. The Clerk will report the words. {time} 1330
