I want to talk about a few things. I want to talk about jobs, tax cuts, and lower costs for American families. First, jobs. Together, under the Biden administration, we have already created nearly 5 million jobs this year. Growth is up…

We are talking about the top marginal tax rate, which is in the 30s right now. Am I correct in that?

Ninety-one percent under the Republican Eisenhower administration during the 1950s. And what happened to that 91 percent, if the gentleman knows?

I have been listening to our colleagues across the aisle complaining about so-called socialist tax increases that we have in store. Does the gentleman know what the top marginal tax rate under the Eisenhower administration was?

We are here tonight to talk about these amazing bills coming up having to do with our investment in the United States of America, both in the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the Build Back Better Act. These two bills taken together will…

I would hope that, but my hopes have been dashed before. We have seen this story before in different aspects. In fact, we are approaching the 8-year anniversary now of what happened when I was a freshman Representative in 2013. It was…

Sure. Well, it is pretty obvious that every economist that you talk to finds it unthinkable that our Nation would turn its back on our obligations. When you ask them, What happens if we do? The first thing they say is that the stock market…

When you asked her, Secretary Yellen, about what would happen if we turned our back on our national debt, defaulted on our promises, just went back on our promise to pay, when you asked her that, did she talk about what could happen to the…

Sure. That is really the big question here tonight. Before I get to that, I want to commend my colleague from Pennsylvania for that excellent and well-thought-out legislation. If I can, I want to ask Congressman Boyle a question. Your…

I thank the distinguished gentleman from Colorado for yielding. It is true. Today, in the Congress, the Treasury Secretary of the United States, Janet Yellen, testified that we will run out of borrowing ability on October 18, next month…

I am thrilled that, this week, we bring up the INVEST in America Act, part of Joe Biden's American Jobs Plan, something that we have been waiting for for many years. We have had infrastructure week after infrastructure week. We actually…

I couldn't be prouder of this House for passing the American Rescue Plan, an aggressive response to the pandemic, to pull us out of the doldrums in this country. As a result, millions and millions of Americans are back in jobs; millions…

This week I was so proud to announce that $330 million from the American Rescue Plan is on its way to my district to keep frontline public workers on the payroll; that $50 million is coming to my district to help our colleges…

I am proud of the strides that local transportation stakeholders have made to bolster the road, bridge, and transit infrastructure.

I greatly appreciate the Committee's Member Designated Projects process this year.

These frontline workers, who contribute and sacrifice to keep us healthy, fed, and safe, deserve our support for projects.

Well, I thank you, Secretary Haaland.

People want to get out, they want to see the country.

We are incredibly excited in Pennsylvania that both your budget and the American Jobs Plan propose significant increases in funding for AML projects.

With crushing reclamation needs across the country and the AML fee set to expire on September 1 of this year, passing these bills and focusing on reclamation is an urgent priority.

There is no reason to wait. The need is there now, and the money is there now.

I am so thankful for him highlighting this need in both his skinny budget and the American Jobs Plan.

It calls for the Forest Service and the National Resources Conservation Service to promote the health and resilience of public and private lands.

My constituents and I value the forests in the region, and we want to ensure that the Forest Service has the funding necessary to carry out the important work of maintaining and managing our Nation's forest resources.

Many people don't realize Cornelia Pinchot was basically the leader of the suffragist movement in Pennsylvania.
