But we made the single largest investment in community-based mental health care in American history.

I would like to ask if you will be willing to work with us--particularly the chairman, the ranking member, who obviously will set the agenda--in working on all of these issues as part of the same problem.

I want to just say the one thing I would congratulate the Biden administration on is their commitment to implement the bipartisan Safer Communities Act.

I think the Biden administration has completely dropped the ball when it comes to the border, and unfortunately, we have seen all of these deaths.

Do you believe we have a public health crisis when it comes to these overdose deaths?

It was the product mainly of this committee, the Finance Committee, that made that possible as part of the bipartisan Safer Communities Act.

Thank you again for your leadership, your ongoing leadership on these mental health issues.

This budget only seeks to isolate and divide us. This budget, simply said, taxes too much and spends too much.

This administration's tax-and-spend reckless policies fueled inflation and will only further lead to unmanageable inflation and higher and higher interest rates.

The President's budget misses the mark, which is disappointing, but unfortunately pretty consistent with what we have seen from this administration.

Our ability to defend our country in an increasingly dangerous world would be diminished because we would be spending more money paying interest to the bondholders rather than paying to keep the American people safe.

It is not that the American people are taxed too little; it is that the Federal Government continues to spend too much and incur too much debt, which in turn creates this unvirtuous cycle.

The President's budget proposal, of course, just makes that clear, because it offers more taxes, more spending, and more debt.

We need to get our fiscal house in order, something that the administration pays lip service to but seems uninterested in working with Republicans to try to address.

Only in Washington, DC would Congress pass an $80-billion spending appropriation without any plan as to how it is going to be implemented.

I believe that the State and Federal regulators failed to appropriately use the tools they have to supervise and regulate the failed institutions.
