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

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

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.

I thank my friend, Mr. Massie, for introducing this bill. I am listening to some of the arguments on the Democrat side here today, and I hear about vaccine conspiracies. I am not hearing that over here. In fact, I am vaccinated. I have the…

I am especially grateful to the ranking member for allowing me 2 minutes because he knows I am rising in support of this bill. I understand and completely agree with my friend, Mr. Westerman, who is a dear friend and who does a wonderful…

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 was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 493. MEMBERS RECORDED PURSUANT TO HOUSE RESOLUTION 8, 117TH CONGRESS Amodei (Balderson) Axne (Wild) Barragan (Correa) Bass (Cicilline) Blunt…

I thank Mr. Arrington for leading this discussion tonight and for his kind comments. It is interesting, my friend talks about Pennsylvania's budget, and I was proud to serve there and be part of the process. I thought it was a difficult…

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…

I thank the gentleman for his words. It is clear that he is in touch regularly with his constituents and is hearing some of the same things that I have heard. The gentleman mentioned the real wage drop about $3,500 per family due to the…

I thank the gentleman from Georgia for his comments. He has identified the problem and has some real solutions on how we can address this and how we can save the future for our kids and our grandkids. One of the saddest things about this…

I thank my friend from Kentucky, who truly is an expert on fiscal policy and truly understands the situation that we are in, in our country. We just simply cannot afford to continue down this path and expect that there will not be…

I thank the gentleman for being here. We talked about what they have referred to as the Inflation Reduction Act. I think a better title for it is the Expensive Attempt to Distract Voters Act. We know the bill will not cut the deficit, and…

I thank the gentleman for his wonderful comments outlining the problem that we are faced with here. It sounds like we are up here criticizing the administration--and certainly we are--but it is far beyond that. I think to address a…

What a time to raise taxes and to spend nearly $1 trillion more. The economy is in a recession, food inflation is up 12.9 percent over the past year, gas is up 49 percent, and shelter costs rose by 5.7 percent. What will families get…

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…

There are so many things wrong with the policies in this bill. It will certainly punish Americans' pocketbooks through record-high inflation, new taxes, and an army of IRS agents. It can get even worse. This drug price setting regime in…

Well, here we are. Reports this morning show that we have been in a recession here in this country. Unfortunately, since coming into office, the Biden administration has been in denial about the state of our economy. And I think our…

On September 1 of 1980, inflation was at almost 13 percent. On that day, then Governor Ronald Reagan said: ``Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his.''…

March 2021, the Biden administration and congressional Democrats rammed through $1.9 trillion in deficit spending, and only a small portion of that really went to solving problems and helping people that needed help through the…

The article lays out how increased inflation ultimately undermines our national security. China, perhaps our greatest adversary of the next decade, now owns $1.1 trillion of the national debt. That is the second highest total among foreign…

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.

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