Chip Roy

We can and must do better before we pass the final product.

there's a lot more work to do this week

I’d prefer Roy’s honest cruelty to the con job that Trump would much rather pull to keep Congress in Republican hands.

This bill has back-loaded savings and has front-loaded spending.

the draconian cuts they deem necessary to earn their support

The proposed Medicaid work requirements would begin in 2029, rather than immediately.

This bill falls profoundly short. It does not do what we say it does with respect to deficits.

I have to now admonish my colleagues on this side of the aisle. This bill falls profoundly short. It does not do what we say it does with respect to deficits.

Mr. Speaker, I would note that as we are considering this Police Week and we are talking about the safety and security of our streets, I would just note that two of our most dangerous States as measured by violent crime and property crime…

What I would notice, Mr. Speaker, is that the gentleman complained about not having the amendment considered, but he offered the amendment about 1 hour before the Rules Committee met. So spare me the concern about whether or not we are…

If we talk about standing up in defense of police, how can my colleagues on the other side of the aisle say with a straight face that that is what they want to do when we had one Democrat from New York who said: I am not in favor of more…

Mr. Speaker, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are so concerned about crime in the country that the parting shot of Joe Biden on January 19 was to commute the sentences of 2,500 Federal defendants he claimed were "convicted of…

We will need SIGNIFICANT additional changes to garner my support.

I sure hope House & Senate leadership are coming up with a backup plan…. ….. because I’m not here to rack up an additional $20 trillion in debt over 10 years or to subsidize healthy, able-bodied adults, corrupt blue states, and monopoly…

How about we do the job we got elected 5 months ago to do and see where the chips fall. Cut Spending. Shrink the Deficit. Cut Taxes. Lead.

My colleagues, who do not want to address that, are burying their head in the sand.

Somebody come back and show me your basic math.

The policy as it currently exists incentivizes states to add people to the rolls that are decidedly not within the design of Medicaid as envisioned.

If the House budget reconciliation package does not include structural Medicaid reform that achieves desired Republican outcomes, we will be setting up massive tax increases and benefit cuts in the future.

The president has unlocked America’s energy potential, or at least taken a giant step to do so.

If other states don’t like California’s approach, they don’t need to follow it…But Congress shouldn’t intervene.

Would the gentleman yield on that? One of the things that I have been saying in this building for the last several months is this debate about what we call, I think somewhat wrongly and incorrectly, ``mandatory spending,'' because it is…

--we are not allowed to touch Social Security in the reconciliation process, and then interest is off of the table because you have to pay it. You can't just magically not pay the interest. That adds up to what? It is about 47 percent of…

You are trying to explain it about the amount of money we are borrowing per family or taxpayer per second. Yet, to put it in stark terms, what we are talking about with the debt and the deficits, what it really means is the inability to…

I have been saying in this building repeatedly that the math has to math. The math has to add up. Would the gentleman agree that that is the fundamental and core problem in this town when we are talking about the state of affairs? For…
