Thank you, Chairman Cole, Ranking Member McGovern, and Members of the Committee for the opportunity to appear before you today.
I'd like to start by thanking Speaker Johnson for his leadership on this continuing resolution and our plan moving forward.
Our nation is still facing high inflation as a result of the massive infusion of government spending during last Congress.
Record-high spending caused record-high inflation, which resulted in an added tax on every American. We must do everything we can in Washington to reverse course and lower that burden on the American people.
This year, House Republicans are changing how we fund the government. We promised to cut wasteful spending, return to responsible funding levels, and consider individual appropriations bills.
Good afternoon, I am honored to come before you today to present the Fiscal Year 2024 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies bill to you and ask for a Rule for its consideration on the House Floor.
This is my first year as chair of this important Subcommittee and I'm proud to be able to support programs that touch the lives of every American.
Our nation remains mired in high inflation, which has only been worsened by the massive infusion of government spending, both during and immediately after the COVID pandemic.
I have said numerous times – inflation is a tax on every single American. Moreover, it is a tax borne disproportionately by low-income Americans. We cannot continue to make our constituents pay for our reckless DC beltway spending. At some point, we must stop the out-of-control spending spree we've seen over the past two years.
