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.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I appreciate a legal seminar as much as anybody, but what I'd like to see--
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.
Secretary Yellen, will this administration acknowledge that their reckless tax and spending contributed to not only the challenges that we see in everyday households, but also to challenges that we are facing today with SVB?
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.
You predicted our economy was on track to get back to more normal operation, that inflation would decline over time.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I appreciate a legal seminar as much as anybody, but what I'd like to see--
We passed a bill called Fix NICS, which was after the Sutherland Springs shooting.
First of all, Ms. Swearer, do you believe a law-abiding citizen is a threat to public safety because they exercise their Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms?
Some of the additional penalties that we included for straw purchasing of firearms and trafficking in firearms has led to 30 indictments.
