I believe Congress should embrace biennial budgeting, and prepare a budget every two years, rather than every year.

I am deeply concerned by the premise that stability requires significant increases in federal spending or federal funding.

This is a sad day for America. This partisan impeachment sham seeks to disenfranchise 63 million American voters. I want to use my time to call on this Chamber, for Members to rise and observe a moment of silent reflection, to give every…

Americans see a Congress paralyzed by impeachment and other distractions. We should change course, do our job, and put our constituents before partisan politics. Reducing prescription drug prices is a way to do that. My friends across the…

I am going to submit to you that we got to get back on track on this Committee and produce a budget.

they hate that word, 'entitlements,' because they invested in those programs.

The federal debt is an unsustainable trajectory. We all know that.

I am very concerned about the consequences of our growing national debt and what that will have on the economic security and quality of life for our children and grandchildren.

we need to ensure our laws and regulations foster competitive markets that allow our innovators to innovate and to compete.

many of my colleagues on this committee have repeatedly and rightfully expressed concerns about top-down Federal proposals such as the likes of the Green New Deal.

In my view, this would enable a transparent and competitive process and ensure the taxpayers are the primary beneficiary from any auction or sale of this national resource.

I know firsthand the difficulty for those communities to access broadband.

The question is not whether this important mid-band spectrum should be repurposed but what process the FCC should use to transition C-band spectrum from satellite to terrestrial wireless broadband use.

It should not come as a surprise that my focus is on how to leverage a valuable asset to deliver broadband to unserved rural communities.

The goal here today of the hearing is to get 5G done and get it done right, and get it done as soon as possible.

It is time for some action, and I am committed to fighting to solve this basic infrastructure need in rural communities, to keep them alive, and to bridge the digital divide.

The lack of broadband is hollowing out communities throughout rural America.

Once again, Members returned to Washington this week. And, once again, important bipartisan work on issues like lowering prescription drug prices, encouraging rural broadband build-out, passing the USMCA trade bill, and improving America's…

I think this idea, this notion of 100 percent clean energy for our transportation network, is a very noble, a noble goal.

We simply don't believe that you can ground our economy to a standstill in order to get there.

But who are the ones that are the most disproportionately affected by a use tax when we do that? It is those that live in rural America.

Rather than kick the can down the road again, Congress should work together across the aisle collectively, in a bipartisan way, to find a permanent, sustainable solution for the Highway Trust Fund.

Congress has a responsibility to provide the states certainty so that they can build and maintain infrastructure that our communities need.

So if we want to get serious about inequality, I give you one way that we can start, Mr. Chairman. Let us try to all work together.

When you are talking about the child, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, it was my provision that helped double the child tax credit, and, sir, it is refundable.
