00:00One minute to the distinguished gentleman from Michigan, Chairman of the Education and

00:05Workforce Committee, Mr. Wahlberg.

00:09Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you, Madam Chairwoman.

00:13The Biden administration's reckless spending caused rampant inflation, burdening workers,

00:19families, farmers, small businesses, unless you believe the spin that continues tonight.

00:27And I don't think America is believing it.

00:29After passing the largest savings in American's history through the One Big Beautiful Bill

00:34Act earlier this month, the Rescissions Act builds on a House Republican's unprecedented

00:40success in reigning in wasteful spending and the President's willingness to not spend

00:45everything that we give him.

00:47That's unusual.

00:48The list of egregious foreign aid projects is endless.

00:51Just a few.

00:52Three million for Iraqi Sesame Street.

01:02Two point five million to teach children how to make environmentally friendly reproductive

01:07health decisions, whatever that means.

01:10This abuse of taxpayer dollars must end.

01:24The Rescissions Act would prioritize the needs of American people instead of funding far-left,

01:30foreign initiatives.

01:31I urge my colleagues to pass this bill, which represents a vital step in reigning in wasteful

01:38spending and big government abuse of the taxpayer.

01:41And I yield back.
