Kevin Brady

I include in the Record a letter from the National Federation of Independent Business, the Nation's leading small business advocacy group underscoring how this proposed bill will impose a small business surtax on already struggling…

So America, the results are in, and now we know it was all nonsense, just nonsense. The claim that this costs zero and reduces the national debt? Nonsense. This bill, even counting the budget gimmicks, is several hundred billion dollars…

The solution to climate change isn't to drive energy prices up higher for everyone and kill off American energy jobs.

Every penny in the increase of energy takes roughly a billion dollars out of the pockets of Americans over a year's time.

The Build Back Better shouldn't mean the total neglect and destruction of our energy infrastructure as we know it.

I include in the Record this fact-check from The Washington Post about this claim we just heard, that 83 percent of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act went to the top 1 percent. They gave that false statement ``3 Pinocchios,'' calling it a ``zombie…

I thank Congressman Cawthorn for his leadership on behalf of working families, small business--of which he is one--for getting this economy going again. I thank him for allowing me to be part of this Special Order. Mr. Speaker, when…

These are dramatic increases that have real impacts on jobs here in America. There is no question in my view this will sabotage the jobs recovery. It will drive jobs overseas.

The American people deserve better. They've been told that this bill is about Covid, but less than a dime of every dollar goes to Covid vaccines and defeating the virus. They've been told that this is a stimulus, but it doesn't do anything…
