Political Quotes

“I rise in support of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that will halt the largest tax increase on American families, bolster our hardworking farmers and rural communities, and give President Trump the tools he needs to make America safe again. The Agriculture Committee was tasked with $230 billion in net deficit reduction. I am proud to say that we exceeded that instruction. We achieved these savings for America's taxpayers by restoring integrity to the SNAP program, reinforcing work, rooting out waste, and ending the unchecked overreach by States and the executive branch that has driven costs through the roof. SNAP is the only State-administered welfare program that does not have a cost-share component. While the Federal Government funds 100 percent of the benefit, States are tasked with operating it. The only problem is that they aren't operating it well. In 2023 alone, over $13 billion in improper payments were made. That is not just a slap in the face of taxpayers but of the needy families who rely on SNAP, as well. We don't just stop at restoring the SNAP program to its original intent. We are also delivering big wins for rural America by shoring up the safety net for farmers and ranchers and providing critical tax relief. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act makes permanent and expands the Trump tax cuts. It also prevents the death tax from hitting over 2 million family farms.”
