We really need to stay the course in prioritizing family for young people and particularly connecting them to their relatives.

I support Congress funding WIC to meet the needs of vulnerable families struggling to keep up with inflation.

Unfortunately, prices for foods covered by WIC have skyrocketed due to record inflation driven by 'Bidenomics.'

Food security is national security.

I am a proud cosponsor of the GusNIP Expansion Act of 2023, introduced by Representative Rick Crawford.

I want to talk just briefly with the Committee about today is the importance of encouraging nutritional food options for those who are facing food insecurity.

I think particularly, Mr. Smetters, what you have described, what could occur here, what will occur here, according to your testimony, over the next 20 years if we don't change course, is really--it is a five-alarm fire. It is cataclysmic.

A sovereign debt crisis will occur when the capital markets--when investors no longer are willing to hold the U.S. dollar because they believe the government has the inability to pay or doesn't have the will to put ourselves on the right…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

I have heard from so many small businesses in my area who benefitted from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

The provisions of the 2017 Tax Act reduced the total estimate of benefits from income tax expenditures by nine percent

Congressman Lloyd Smucker will reintroduce the Main Street Tax Certainty Act during the next congressional work period.

It is not about taking away unemployment benefits for those who relied on them. It is quite the opposite. This bill goes after those who robbed unemployment benefits from those who need it. Mr. Speaker, I am hopeful that my colleagues on…

Let me just ask you, Mr. Dutta-Gupta, what will be the effect on college students if, as you say, the cuts could be even as much as 33 percent if the Republican Default on America Act is adopted?

The bottom line is in 10 years, the deficit will be $2 trillion compared to $1-and-a-half trillion now.

It is 40-percent higher than you were projecting last year at this time.

I can't for the life of me see where you are decreasing the deficit.

The burden of higher taxes hits middle-income families, once again breaking Biden's promise.

This budget proposes close to $5 trillion in new taxes.

There will be other steps in this process during which I hope some of those real, legitimate questions can be answered. We should allow the Puerto Rican people to make their choice about their future. I know, certainly, the Puerto Rican…

I thank the gentleman for his wonderful comments. One of the things that is most frustrating about this is not only, as the gentleman just mentioned, the administration doesn't seem to understand the impact of their policies that have led…

Our Democrat colleagues are also falsely insisting this bill will not raise taxes on small businesses or households with incomes below $400,000. Yet, during Rules Committee debate on the bill, a Ways and Means Democrat admitted that…

We had 1.4 percent inflation the month Trump left office. So, that is a pretty remarkable malfeasance.

I think diving into what caused this inflation and what we in Congress can do to combat that is a really good discussion to have.

I believe in the first two years of the Biden Administration if we stay on the course we are on, we will see all of the median income gains that happened under Trump completely eliminated.
