The single greatest threat to economic security is the Biden vaccine mandate.

This decaying economic environment is the direct result of liberal policies that have disincentivized business investment.

I have always advocated for a strong domestic supply chain.

This vaccine mandate is illegal. This vaccine mandate is unconstitutional.

The Biden vaccine mandate will result in nothing less than the total implosion of the American economy.

vaccine mandates are crippling their industry's ability to recover from this pandemic.

some believe in their personal freedom and will not get the vaccine.

the fact that we are going to lose some of them, a good number of them if--unless this vaccine mandate changes is obviously, I think, going to increase that challenge even more.

That is the reason why we are asking the administration, you know, to at least give some sense of parity when it comes to the vaccine mandate deadlines.

I was really pleased to work with Commandant Schultz to get phase 1 of the Training Center Cape May recapitalization project listed as the Coast Guard's number one housing shore infrastructure budget priority for 2021.

The U.S. Coast Guard is expanding operations across the country, of course, as you know, and across the world.

It is imperative that this current project not fall short.

We can build all the cutters in the world, but we need personnel training to operate those vessels.

This investment ensures that the Coast Guard will have the workforce it needs to accomplish its mission at home and abroad.

As we rapidly approach the upcoming holiday season, which is the busiest time of year for many American families and for many industries, I am, we all are, greatly concerned about the state of our country. Gas prices are the highest we…

I think there is really unexplored areas there that we can really do great things together. Coast Guard is a great agency, as you know, and I think they really can offer a great deal if we are working in tandem, if we are working in…

I think the Coast Guard can be very essential in this entire process, and as we move on and times change and things change, so does their role, and I think this is an area we really should focus on as well.

I thank my friend and fellow dentist for yielding. Mr. Speaker, it is no surprise that Democrats, led by President Joe Biden, are abusing the budget reconciliation process to pass an extremely partisan, socialist spending spree that will…

In short, this proposal is terrible.

I do not believe that this proposal is coming from you. I do not believe it is coming from you. Nor do I believe that it is even coming from this administration.

will you withdraw the reprogramming request and work with Congress, work with labor, work with industry to develop a good-faith proposal that actually works for the aviation sector and the American taxpayer?

This deal would kneecap the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center.

I urge you to withdraw the FAA's reprogramming request...

I will say that again: the apparent intention to privatize portions of the FAA.

Several major labor unions have just released a joint letter in opposition to the proposal.
