Unlike previous speakers, Congress doesn't have to pass this bill to find out what’s in it. Everyone had 72 hours to read it, and it’s only 99 pages.

This is Halle. She was born on April 11.
Her dad gave her blue eyes.
Her mom gave her a button nose.
And politicians in Washington gave her a $95,000 bill—every American's portion of the national debt.
Runaway spending is more than an economic problem. It’s a moral problem.

Every great nation that overextends itself has collapsed.
Washington’s spending addiction is irresponsible and wrong. Today we vote to end it—with the biggest spending cut in American history.
I'm headed to the House floor now to deliver a speech. Watch: speaker.gov/live/

Tonight the House will consider the largest deficit reduction bill in U.S. history. The deal is far from perfect, but it’s a meaningful and necessary step to get America’s fiscal house in order.
@HouseGOP has delivered strong conservative wins in a divided government.

A lot has changed since 1982. Unfortunately, our nation's permitting process has not, making it difficult and costly to build and produce in the US.
Today, we're delivering the first, real NEPA reform in 40 years, streamlining permitting and preventing expensive project delays.

Democrats have always insisted that investments in defense must be matched by increased spending on social programs. It's a false parity, and it ends now.
This will be the first year in recent memory where defense spending goes up and non-defense spending goes down.

If we can stick to the outyear approps targets, CBO says this debt limit deal will save $1.9 trillion before interest.
Here’s how that compares to others….

Numbers don’t lie.
Two years of reckless spending have left American families worse off. The Fiscal Responsibility Act is a responsible alternative to another year of @POTUS’s unprecedented spending.

Here's what happens after we vote today on the largest cut in American history:
- It goes to the Senate
- Gets signed into law
- Welfare reform, permitting reform, reduced spending → all become reality

The #FiscalResponsibilityAct, the largest deficit reduction bill in history, cuts a record $2.13T, putting an end to Washington's out-of-control spending.
Importantly, this bill does NOT result in new taxes & does NOT touch Social Security, Medicare, or veterans' benefits.
Republicans narrowly control one-half of one-third of the federal government. Yet we were still able to use our leverage to cut wasteful Washington spending compared to:
- last year
- this year
- next year's Biden budget

FACT → This is the largest spending cut in American history, and it locks in consequential work requirements for welfare.

“The American people being with us was the fundamental difference of why we now have the largest cut in American history…This president argued the whole time. He wanted to raise taxes and spend more money.” -@SpeakerMcCarthy on the Fiscal Responsibility Act

I give a lot of credit to the American people for keeping the pressure on President Biden and the Democrats.
Without WE THE PEOPLE, Congress would not be voting today on the largest spending cut in American history.

For more than a decade, Utah’s 2nd district has had a selfless public servant in @RepChrisStewart. I wish him and his wife Evie health and blessings as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives.
It's been one of the great honors of my life to represent Utah in the People's House.
God bless you all, and God bless America.
