Checks and Balances of the Administration

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MRVAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to share the abject frustration constituents of northwest Indiana have expressed due to the administration's incoherent and overreaching executive orders that create unnecessary confusion in their failed attempts to improve government efficiencies.

Is it efficient when individuals, small businesses, municipalities, and nonprofit organizations that provide benefits to seniors, veterans, and children are frozen without guidance?

Is it efficient when a Federal employee hired for 20 years, living in my district, is told to report back to an office in D.C. that never existed?

Is it efficient when officials immediately end public transit services that seniors rely upon and when community health centers that provide essential services to vulnerable populations can't access government websites? These actions are creating inefficiencies and wasting taxpayer dollars.

As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I encourage the administration to look forward and put their proposals in their upcoming budget requests. Let's begin the constitutional process and real negotiations with checks and balances to benefit the American people.
