I agree with my colleague from California, there are a lot of people now who are facing a great deal of economic insecurity and anxiety.

The Democrats have put forth a working families agenda: several pieces of legislation that would keep workers in the workforce, provide scheduling flexibility...

I have the SIMPLE Act that is a bipartisan piece of legislation to get more people into income-driven repayment and to keep them there.

I hope that this committee will take a comprehensive approach to making higher education accessible and affordable.

May I inquire to the remaining time, please? The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from California has 1 minute remaining.

I assure my colleague that, as someone with a consumer protection background, I would not be opposing this resolution if it had consumer protections. In fact, this rule applies when States have strict investor protections. Mr. Speaker, I…

I really appreciate the important services that you provide through your franchise.

I want to join my colleagues in offering support for this important bill, and thank Mr. Lucas and Ranking Member Johnson.
