I am grateful to Representatives Pappas and Bean for introducing this legislation so that rural Americans will have full access to their resources when disaster strikes.

The motion is agreed to and H.R. 7989 is adopted and will be reported favorably to the House.

H.R. 7987, the Plain Language in Contracting Act, is a very important piece of legislation which removes a hurdle small businesses face as they consider doing business with the government.

Main Street America has been forced to play defense every day thanks to this administration's regulatory agenda.

I am proud to support this legislation, proud to be on this with Mr. Mfume.

The gentleman yields back.

I'd like to thank my colleague, Representative Pappas, for his partnership and leadership on the bill and I urge my colleagues to support this very simple, smart, bipartisan legislation that is meant again to tear down barriers and create…

I would like to thank Representative Molinaro for his commitment to ensuring Congress works to pave the pathway to success for entrepreneurs and employees with disabilities and thank him and Mr. Pappas for introducing this legislation.

the regulations it has put on small business are unbelievable, and like I say, the very people they think they are helping, they are hurting.

Heavenly Father, God of all people, thank you for allowing us to be here today to do what we can to preserve the greatest country in the world we love to call the United States of America.

The CFPB must be held accountable for the damage they are causing in financial institutions, their customers, and small business owners.

I am a small business owner back in Texas like you are. And you used some words today that the federal government doesn't understand.

Overspending poured gasoline on the inflation fire.

Checks and balances are a vital function of our government to ensure accountability, and the funding structure of CFPB lacks appropriate oversight.

Main street is faced with a continuing disadvantage when it comes to accessing capital.

the CFPB's regulatory agenda has been a nonstop parade of partisan politics and wish list items from the Biden Administration.

We have seen an increase in ransomware attacks on individual Americans--we talked about that, we know that--but also, large multinational companies...

Our government spending is currently on an unsustainable path, in case you were not aware of that.

I am a small business owner in Texas, and I can tell you that small business and Main Street are getting hammered by this, and it is devastating.

I always look at, when evaluating any government program or anything, is a return on investment, which they don't understand about here in Washington.

The CFPB's goal is to protect consumers from abusive financial practices, but like everything else the government does, the people they want to help, they actually hurt.

The SEC's purpose is to allow American businesses to compete, not to try and tie them down with excessive compliance costs and burdensome regulations, which seems to be what we are going through with this Administration.

I believe that the cuts fundamentally provide how cutting taxes is good for small businesses, good for all Americans, and good for our economy.

This morning, higher than expected inflation reading shows that President Biden's tax and spend policies continue to hurt everyday Americans.

The SEC must return to their core mission and protect the interests of all investors and public companies, not just those who are fixated on politicizing boardrooms and our capital markets.
