Ralph Norman

May I inquire as to how much time is remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from South Carolina has 2 minutes remaining.

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 subtitle G of title V, add the following: SEC. 5__. ELIMINATION OF OFFICES OF DIVERSITY…

To hear some of the statements that have been made, for example, the thing about capitalism taking away choices--Andy Barr brought the exact point up, why is government needed then?

This President is on tap to spend $4 trillion, and I find it astonishing.

I find it astonishing that in your position, you make that type of statement.

Is that not like saying you are going to drain the ocean a teardrop at a time?

Is it unfair to ask people before they get a government check to go to work, go 20 hours a week? Really?

Janet Yellen has never created a job in her life.

This is stupidity at its height, and the economy is not doing well.

My constituents that I talk with back home are outraged about the government involvement, not just with the LLPAs but just as a whole in the housing market.

Could it be that all of it is brought on by this Administration, which wasn't the prior case?

To penalize people for a good credit report is a joke.

This is the stupidest idea, raising these rates, what they are doing, charging those with good credit.

Explain how the inflation, which has increased 14.9 percent, how are they handling that?

This administration is opening the doors to every country in the world to come into the United States.

This administration has not cut $1. He has made his thoughts known, no cuts, clean debt ceiling raise, which is insane.

I have yet to hear a plan by this administration to offer any solution other than just spend more money.

Let them not put forward their plan. I heard not one plan that you offer.

His policies are insane, and it is tearing the country down.

We are borrowing at a 236 percent higher rate than we did this time last year.

Our Federal Government is 40 percent bigger today than it was in 2019.

Three out of four say the President ought to negotiate fiscal reforms in the debt ceiling.

This is a crisis, this is a cost of living crisis, driven by inflation and inflation has been driven by, in large part, spending.

Cut, absolute cut in the 2024 budget as compared to 2023.

As bad as the Biden budget is, it is time. How are we going to fix it?
