This Default on America Act that came through the House recently would dramatically reduce and eliminate investments in Head Start.
I appreciate it. Mr. Chairman, that sounds to me like if there was a repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act that it would create damage to the health of citizens and the elderly and children as well.
This bill provided $4.7 billion to plug oil and gas wells that were abandoned by those who profited from leaving this mess behind.
So millions of abandoned wells across the nation needed to be cleaned up, hence working together in a bipartisan way on the Regrow Act.
The proof is in the pudding, and everyone knows where that money went, and to the dissatisfaction of many constituents I represent.
the Inflation Reduction Act is accelerating the transition to a clean energy economy, creating millions of good paying jobs and providing cleaner air and better health for us.
Do you think repealing the Inflation Reduction Act would damage the health of citizens across the country, especially children and the elderly?

We know what these costs are. The cost is climate change. The cost is air pollution. The cost is damage to our environment as well.

It is irresponsible of energy companies to abandon their oil and gas wells and force taxpayers to pick up the tab for cleanup.

It really is an honor and a privilege to introduce a well-respected friend, neighbor, leader, mentor in New Mexico.
