Let me end where I began. In my view, I do think it is possible for us to enact a bipartisan bill that responsibly boosts Federal support for real physical infrastructure.

The Administration's so-called infrastructure plan calls for $40 billion more for public housing.

This kind of Government spending is not sustainable. It is contributing to inflation that is already with us.

Only 6 percent of the Administration's $2.2 trillion so-called infrastructure actually goes to roads and bridges.

I met with President Biden and a group of my Republican colleagues to discuss a potential bipartisan infrastructure package.

isn't it important that we follow the law and the HUD regulation and have processes in place to minimize the risk that these vouchers go to people who are not supposed to have them?

The good news is we have hundreds of billions of unspent COVID funds that Congress can repurpose to pay for infrastructure.

It should responsibly boost support for real, that is to say physical infrastructure.

I think these property-based subsidies should be phased out over time.

It is a transformational leap forward.

I think about the repetitive loss and severe repetitive loss properties in particular.

Put simply, NFIP is broken.
