“We got rid of the tax on overtime. We eliminated tax on Social Security. More money in people's pockets. And then on top of that, we expanded the child tax credit. It is now $2,200 per child. We delivered permanent relief--you know about this as do I, in my home State, from the dreaded death tax.”

“But yet every single Democrat in this House voted against these valuable accounts--every one of them--and that includes the two Senators from Georgia where Delta Airlines is headquartered. Democrats refuse to even put children's financial interests first.”

“And I have always said people at home with money in their pocket have a much better time figuring out how to spend it or save it or invest it than does the government. Across the country, more people are working. Take-home pay is rising. These are good signs.”

“A number of their candidates have said it around the country. They said so they can provide healthcare for illegal immigrants with taxpayers paying for it. That is the new Democratic Party. They are radical, they are extreme, they are dangerous, they are scary, and yet they proudly march off saying that is their new mantra.”

“Mr. President, I want to talk today about action, action Republicans are taking to lower the costs for American people. Let's start with the cost of energy. We need to be able to build, to build things faster, better, cheaper, smarter. That is what we need in America today.”

“It was insurance brokers gaming the system, and they earned a commission for each one of these new accounts. We are putting an end to this. There is no verification of identity, no notice of whatever the people made--if they were people or not--no identification of identity, income, or immigration status.”

“It is time for even more Democrats to join Republicans today in securing our border, saving our lives, and passing this important piece of legislation that is coming before us today. I yield the floor. I suggest the absence of a quorum.”

“as a man who didn't know when to leave''--``a man who didn't know when to leave.'' Joe Biden's shelf life has expired. It is time for him to go. In our first days in office, Republicans have started to get America back on track. Working with President Trump, we will put our focus on what the American people care about: stopping the chaos at the border, taking the handcuffs off of American energy production, and putting the safety and the security and the future of all Americans first. I yield the floor.”

“It was weak border policies that got us here, put us in this position, and it is strong border policies that are going to get us back to safety. That means funding a border wall, deporting illegal immigrant criminals, and restoring successful policies such as ``Remain in Mexico.'' Our goal is to empower President Trump to enforce the law. Republicans are also going to work to restore deterrence through strength and then what we have seen as the politicization of our military. Without a military focused on lethality, we can't be strong. If these actions are taken, peace and safety, security and strength are not just possible, they will be coming very soon. I yield the floor. I suggest the absence of a quorum.”
