Chairman Arrington’s Remarks on the One Big Beautiful Bill: “Let’s Make America Safer, Stronger, and More Prosperous”
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) delivered the following remarks on the House floor preceding the final vote on H.R.1, the One Big Beautiful Bill.
Remarks as Delivered:
"Today we're considering H.R.1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act as passed by the Senate.
This bill creates the right incentives for historic economic growth, makes unprecedented investments in our military and border security, and implements the largest spending reduction in history—by two-fold—alongside other generational fiscal reforms.
America’s economic strength is the foundation of our global leadership and prosperity. But sadly, it has waned—especially over the last four years.
To preserve our influence abroad and quality of life here at home, we must unleash growth—starting with the largest tax cut in U.S. history. Just like the first Trump tax cuts, we can expect record job growth, investment, repatriation of capital back to the United States, record-low unemployment, record-high wage growth, and the lowest poverty rates in recorded history.
This bill also equips our troops and law enforcement to defend our sovereignty, protect our citizens, and secure our border—after years of neglect and lawlessness.
While more work remains no doubt to rein in Washington’s out of control spending and put our nation on a more sustainable fiscal path, I am confident H.R. 1 will Make America Safe, Strong, and Prosperous Once Again. It will give our children, most importantly, like my daughter Jane, who is here with me today, a better and brighter future in the greatest nation in human history.
I reserve the balance of my time."
