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.

I happen to wish the committee had more funds to execute its responsibilities.

I am proud to say that on this budget we agree.

I want to reiterate what an honor and privilege it is to serve as Ranking Member of the Budget Committee.

Louis DeJoy, you are no Benjamin Franklin. There is a reason why I and others of my colleagues have called for his termination.

The Russian invasion and attack on Ukraine is paramount, but a close second to that is every one of my colleagues is speaking about the inflation going on in their country.

I know it is tempting to get into the usual partisan food fight and score points.

I would bring to your attention--though I am certain that you are aware of it--that when--although this is the case actually with both--it is not just the person who is suffering either from an addiction or from a mental health issue, but…

It is not overstating the situation to call it a crisis.

But there has to be a better of balancing civil liberties with the desire of a family to get love and care to one that desperately needs it.

There are just far too few in our society and we have a lot of people in our country who are hurting because of that.

I certainly know that the firefighters and teachers who live in my neighborhood in Northeast Philadelphia, they would love to pay an 8 percent tax rate.

The average effective rate among those 400 that you mentioned is currently 8 percent?

I think the idea that I have come up with, it is not inherently liberal or conservative or Democratic or Republican, it would give Treasury secretaries of both parties this authority.

The idea that it is only the debt ceiling drama that is needed for us to talk about deficit and debt is not accurate.
