Tonight we are going to talk about a subject that gets too little attention in this Chamber and too little debate and consideration among lawmakers. Yet the storm clouds are gathering, and an epic crisis looms large over the future of our…
I have never been more proud to be a Red Raider than after that introduction, I can tell you that. I thank the gentleman, my fellow freedom-loving Texan, Representative Gohmert, for yielding me the time. We will miss Representative Gohmert…
We need to continue to develop the B-21 and get it ready for showtime in the next several years.
God Bless America, I mean, seriously. In this institution, you guys are still, you know, giving Americans and Members of Congress hope because of your constructive, bipartisan work.
President Biden's own words: Show me your budget, and I will show you your priorities. President Biden's budget is not only a reflection of his priorities; it is a mirror into the soul of the Democrat Party. Biden's budget exposes Democrat…
Suspending Russia's normal trade relation status with the United States is the right and absolutely necessary thing to do. I have to note, Madam Speaker, that our President continues to take an incremental and piecemeal response to…
Unfortunately President Biden continues to be inexcusably feckless in his response to global threats from our adversaries. Now, in the moment of truth, when America can send a clear and unequivocal message to dictators and democracies…
Rural communities are the heartbeat of America. These are hardworking, God-fearing people, and they deserve access to basic healthcare. And quite frankly, if our Nation is going to reap the blessings of our food supply and food security…
Unfortunately and sadly enough, this is a repeat of the political ruse where you wrap a flag and give a great name to legislation. The reality is it has very little to do with the threats China poses to the United States and the world…
I thank the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Banks), my friend and colleague from the Hoosier State. Looking back over the last year under the leadership of this President and single-party rule, for a guy who wants my team to win, my team is…
Rodeo is not just a sport; it is a way of life and a heritage in the Lone Star State. I am pleased to see this time-honored tradition is being kept alive by the next generation of Texans. I rise today to recognize the accomplishments of…
These CRs, these fits and starts of prioritizing the Nation's resources and allocating these resources so we can run the people's government, are inefficient at best, they are dysfunctional, it is disgraceful, it is pervasive, and it is a…
I thank my colleague from the great State of Texas for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I have said a lot about the disastrous effects of this gargantuan tax and spend bill on the heels of an economy that is sputtering on account of massive…
I can't for the life of me understand why my Democrat colleagues insist on passing this multitrillion-dollar monstrosity of a tax-and-spend bill that not only I, but the American people believe will be an economic and societal disaster on…
Before my commentary on this disastrous border self-inflicted by this administration, I want to speak on behalf of my fellow Texans. I think I can say this with confidence: They welcome the immigrant, the God-fearing, freedom-loving…
I thank the gentleman from Oklahoma for yielding, and he almost got there--the food, fuel, and fiber capital of the world in West Texas. But we are proud to be partners with our friends in Oklahoma who produce a little oil and gas and a…
I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, to answer my friend's question about would we do this again on tax cuts, the answer is absolutely. We grew the economy. We created jobs. We lifted 6 million people out of poverty. And…
I don't want to hamstring the whole team while we're competing in away games for customers in markets around the world.
70 percent of it will be borne by working people with higher prices of goods and services in the form of lower wages and benefits.
I want every American to have a stake in the future of our country. I want ownership.
I think some top 1 percent of the income earners who earn 20 percent of the total income in the country pay 40 percent of the taxes doesn't seem fair to me.
It is not our duty to raise the debt limit; it is our duty to not spend so recklessly and so egregiously and irresponsibly that we bankrupt this country, and we rob our children of their freedoms and the opportunities that we have all been…
We are, as a Nation, looking down the barrel of the largest tax-and-spend proposal in the history of the United States, this while our Nation suffers from a recession and major runaway inflation on account of policies from my Democrat…
To my colleague, my Democrat colleague: From west Texas, our heartfelt condolences to Corporal Lopez and his family for that ultimate sacrifice. I am about to really launch into the debate over the tax-and-spend bill, but we stand united…
