mr. brady: thank you, madam speaker. i ask unanimous consent to enter into the record page 16 of treasury's own tax compliance plan, into the record, which shows the agency intends to hire 87,000 new i.r.s. employees. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. brady: at this moment i yield and am proud to yield one minute to the gentleman from oklahoma, mr. hern. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. hern: madam speaker, i rise today in strong opposition to the bill before us today. never in our history has the federal government responded to a recession by raising taxes on americans. it's simply unthinkable. nearly everything our colleagues across the aisle have said about this bill has been proven false. i've noticed they stopped >> they are hailing it as a climate and tax plan. i'll give them that because this legislation will raise americans' taxes and give money to hand-picked socialist companies. this bill will not reduce inflation. liberal economis

mr. brady: thank you. i want to join with chairman neal in expressing our heartbreak and sorrow in losing congresswoman jackie walorski, our colleague. as well as zach and emma. she's so proud of her team, walorski. the truth is, jackie lit up every room she was in. with her passion and her brilliance and just her friendship and warmness. there's no question she could do everything. she was all in on everything and worked hard to find common ground wherever she could. last week was a shocking week and a week to mourn. this week is a time to celebrate jackie, her legacy and her life. with that, sadly this massive senate bill drawn in secret, stuffed with government checks to the wealthy and favored interests, rushed through congress, is a hoax on the american people. it fails to reduce inflation, fails to reduce the budget deficit, and fails to reduce the world's temperature. who in their right mind raises taxes in a recession? the answer is, only president biden and his supporters in congress w

mr. brady, each will control 30 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. neal: i yield myself such time as i might consume. as we begin the proceeding here on the ways and means portion of the legislation, i want to begin by calling attention to the untimely and tragic loss of our colleague jackie walorski and members of her staff. she was a force on the committee as well as a member of ranking member input and was well regarded as a member of the committee, a real humanitarian. you couldn't miss her bright smile or booming laugh. she embodied what it meant to serve. when she called me mr. chairman loudly with a booming voice, i know she meant it. we are all lucky to have had her as a colleague and be able to call her a tend. families and loved ones of congresswoman walorski and her staff be in our thoughts and prayers, rest in peace. i rise in full support of the inflation reduction act. i look forward, as i have in the post to this -- moment. the words come from ano

mr. brady for an opening statement. >> thank you for hosting this today. we are eager to work with you to find common ground on issues we can agree on improving the lives of working families. especially under president biden where the women workers and families are suffering. the dangerous baby formula shortage, raising inflation driving the price of everything up and shrinking family budgets, record rising crime for women owned business, the worker shortage and double-digit inflation threatening their very survival. under president biden, working women haven't added this bad for decades with a looming recession, wages shrinking and even higher gas prices ahead it looks to be getting worse. no wonder "the wall street journal" reported most americans are deeply pessimistic about the u.s. economy. unfortunately, the democratic-controlled congress means taking a partisan go it alone approach. it's failed to solve these issues. nearly 2 trillion-dollar unpaid covid a stimulus that fueled inflation

mr. brady. i wanted to make sure he get his questions in. then i will ask my end and we'll go back to mr. cole. then rest of the panel. >> thank you very much. we certainly appreciate your indulgence. i will try to be quick. my friend can leave at any point. we know you got important business to take care of. mr. brady, president biden pledged that there wouldn't be tax increases for any americans making less than $400,000. however, direct tax increases is not the only way to take money from americans. the legislation before us today do what senator schumer and president biden committed to? just close so called corporate loopholes. is it more nefarious than that? >> look, don't take my word for it mr. cole. the joint committee on taxation and independent scorekeeper has reported that almost every income level in america will see higher taxes because of this bill. clearly, you'll see higher inflation because when you tax made in america manufacturing, you know those taxes end up in higher prices

neal, and the gentleman from texas, mr. brady shall each control 30 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from kentucky. mr. yarmuth: i ask unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks and insert extraneous material into the record on the senate amendment to h.r. 5376. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. pause for a minute. the house will please come to order. the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. mr. yarmuth: i yield myself such time as i may consume. mr. speaker, the legislation before us today is a big deal for american families and a big deal for our planet. the inflation reduction act will lower health care costs and energy costs for american families. it will allow medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices and cap drug costs for seniors saving many medicare beneficiaries hundreds, if not thousands of dollars each year. this legislation finally makes the biggest corporations start paying their fair share in taxes. and it ensures that rich tax cheats start paying
