Relating to Consideration of the Senate Amendment to H.R. Rescissions Act of 2025

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, the Biden administration's reckless spending caused rampant inflation, burdening workers, families, farmers, and small businesses, unless you believe the spin that continues tonight. I don't think America is believing it.

After passing the largest savings in America's history through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act earlier this month, the Rescissions Act builds on House Republicans' unprecedented success in reining in wasteful spending and the President's willingness to not spend everything that we give him. That is unusual.

The list of egregious foreign aid projects is endless. Here are just a few: $3 million for Iraqi Sesame Street, $18 million to improve gender diversity in the Mexican street lighting industry, $2.5 million to teach children how to make environmentally friendly reproductive health decisions, whatever that means.

This abuse of taxpayer dollars must end. The Rescissions Act would prioritize the needs of Americans over everyone else.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WALBERG. The Rescissions Act would prioritize the needs of American people instead of funding far-left foreign initiatives.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to pass this bill, which represents a vital step in reining in wasteful spending and Big Government abuse of the taxpayer.
