Virginia Foxx Republican
“The House has been very productive this term. We have passed almost 900 measures, cut taxes for most people, and cut 23 regulations.”
“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, in the 119th Congress, the House has been the most aggressive, successful, and productive since the 80th Congress in 1949. Total measures passed by the House are 899. Tax relief was $82 billion across all filers this tax season with 97 percent of all tax filers receiving a tax cut last year, and the 3 percent who didn’t were the highest earners in the country. Regulations lifted by Congress are 23. When you place these three points within historical context, they reveal that this Congress is the most successful and productive since 1949. Now, obviously, the House cannot control the actions of the Senate. The statistics demonstrated by the House of Representatives this Congress are truly historic. I would put them up against the abysmal record of sleepy Joe Biden and his enablers every day. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
