Mr. Chairman, in all seriousness now, I have to say, at first, I am disappointed, you only used the word 'woke' twice.

Listening to all of the doom and gloom from the previous speaker, you might forget for a moment that right now, in the world, the greatest economic recovery from COVID is that of the United States of America, with the greatest job growth…

I keep hearing this doom and gloom from the other side of the aisle that we are on the brink of catastrophe. Here is the headline in the world's leading economic magazine, a magazine that is considered right of center. This is their…

Just to be clear, to correct the Record, three times under former President Trump, the debt ceiling was increased. Many of us on this side of the aisle voted for it, even though it was a President not of our own party. In those three debt…

I remind my fellow Pennsylvanian, as well as all the Members of this House, that according to Moody's Analytics, the legislation that is in front of us ``would meaningfully increase the likelihood of recession.'' And lead to 800,000 job…

Today, American workers have benefited from a record 12.4 million jobs created since President Biden took office.

There is short immediate consequences and longer-term consequences. The immediate consequence, I think under any scenario would be we would go into recession.

And Moody's projected two and a half million job losses as well as a recession in 2024, if that sort of policy were to come about.

I think the CBO actually released a memo very recently documenting the severity of the cuts that would be necessary to achieve a balanced budget ten years from now under the restrictions that you articulated, and pretty clearly it is not…

I want to pick up on the idea of balancing the budget in ten years because some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have committed to that.

I believe the Constitution has an amendment banning cruel and unusual punishment, so, Director Young, you might have a lawsuit that I would support if you pursue it.

Our kids and teens are suffering. We need real investments in mental healthcare.

I have to ask, you know, what about book banning is about protecting freedom, and what about defunding schools is about protecting kids?

It is a fiscally responsible and pro-growth document.

I would ask my Republican colleagues, when will we see your plan?

You can't take an ax to the Federal budget and then turn a blind eye to people who will suffer the blow.

I am deeply concerned by the extreme budget proposals that we are hearing from the other side of the aisle.

The Biden budget accomplishes all of this and more while making sure no one who makes less than $400,000 a year pays a penny more in new taxes.

It caps the cost of insulin at $35 for everyone and lowers the cost of other prescription drugs, saving Americans and our government money.

It restores the full child tax credit that we passed as part of the American Rescue Plan--and when it was in place, that full child tax credit cut child poverty by more than half.

This budget sets out our next generation for success by investing in their education, from universal pre-K to making college more affordable.

It is damn unfair that a teacher or firefighter in my neighborhood in Northeast Philadelphia pays a higher percentage of their paycheck in taxes than a billionaire.

President Biden's 2024 budget is exactly the plan we need to build on this progress, and how proud I was to be with the President in my district in Philadelphia 2 weeks ago today when he unveiled this budget.

What a difference 2 years and 2 months make. Under President Biden and Congressional Democrats' leadership, we have rolled out vaccines and testing, seen a record 12 million new jobs, unemployment at 50-year-plus lows, and have had the…

I have served in the minority, the majority, the minority. The House is probably 50-50 up for grabs facing next election.
