WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) spoke on the House Floor championing key conservative wins in the One Big Beautiful Bill, which delivered sweeping tax cuts for working families and small businesses, strengthened Medicaid for the most vulnerable, modernized our military, and unleashed American energy.
Remarks as Delivered: I want to thank the gentlelady and our fearless Conference Chair from Michigan for her leadership. Mr. Speaker, make no mistake, the One Big Beautiful Bill is a big and beautiful win for the American people. It's big because it delivers the largest tax cuts for families and small businesses; the greatest single investment in border security and national defense; the most significant commitment to unlocking America's energy resources; and the largest reduction in mandatory spending in the history of the United States—by two-fold. It's beautiful, Mr. Speaker, because of the tangible benefit these policies will provide our fellow Americans. During the month of August, like many of the members here, I crisscrossed over a thousand miles in my district in West Texas. The refrain I heard, one community after another, was simple: “Thank you. Thank you for supporting our president. Thank you for delivering on our mandate. Thank you for fighting for our nation's future.” Madam chair, in Scurry County, we heard how deregulation and historic tax cuts will reignite their economy and put money back into their pockets. In Terry County, they were grateful for our stewardship of their hard-earned tax dollars as we cut $15 trillion dollars in woke and wasteful spending. In Lynn County, we talked about strengthening rural health care through the $50 billion rural health care fund, cracking down on waste fraud and abuse that has plagued Medicaid in restoring the dignity of work through long overdue and generational welfare reform. In Parmer County, I was proud to report that the bill permanently locks in low taxes for working families provides additional tax relief for seniors and protects generational family farms, family run oil, and gas companies, and other family-owned businesses with enhanced death tax relief. In Shackelford and Hockley Counties, folks said that it's about time we put a stop to Biden's war on energy, so we can lower prices for working people so that we can strengthen our energy, security and so that we can unleash not just American energy dominance, but American prosperity for our children and children's children. In Haskell County, we talked about how the bill's generational investment in national security will help secure our sovereign border, strengthen our military, and restore America's leadership in the world. The other message I heard over and over was this, keep pressing forward, unrelented, undeterred, unapologetic to advance the America first agenda. My response, Madam Chair? Yes, ma'am. Yes, sir! As sure as the sun rises, and we're just getting started. I yield back. ### |
