Repealing of Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Duncan) for yielding.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 1023, the Cutting Green Corruption and Taxes Act, of which I am a proud cosponsor.

The Biden administration established a Green New Deal slush fund at the EPA to the tune of $27 billion in taxpayer money. Let me be clear: My constituents in Georgia's 12th District are sick and tired of their hard-earned tax dollars contributing to this administration's radical rush-to-green agenda, especially while prices at the pump remain a top concern for American families.

During energy week, House Republicans are passing legislation to stop President Biden's war on American energy, and I emphasize that Democrats want to end fossil fuel as we know it.

H.R. 1023 would rescind the EPA's $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and repeal the administration's disastrous proposed natural gas tax.

In doing so, we can reduce the budget deficit, reduce the size and scope of the Federal Government, and ensure energy costs for Americans do not further escalate.

Let me be clear. Every 100 days, we are borrowing $1 trillion. This is common sense. It should be an easy vote for every Member in this body, and I encourage support of H.R. 1023.
