Jamaal Bowman actually said...

"I thank Chairman Williams and Chairman Obernolte for convening this hearing, on a subject that is of crucial importance for the future of our country and planet."

"While Republicans continue to speak about these budget cuts, they do not also speak about increased spending to invest more in our children and our families."

"The wealthy are not contributing their fair share, and large corporations are not contributing their fair share, whereas at the same time we are talking about budget cuts."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Chairman, for convening us here today."
