House Republicans vow to instill fiscal sanity in Congress and hold Biden administration accountable

Rep. Tom Cole (R-Oklahoma), Rules Committee Chair, presents the rules package for the 118th U.S. Congress on Jan 9, 2023. 'Republicans have robust plans to ensure that we will hold the Biden administration accountable for its actions. But being counterbalanced to the administration will not stop there. With today's rule package we will also establish a new select subcommittee modeled on the church committee to investigate the radical left's weaponization of the federal government in recent years.' ... 'Other important changes in this resolution are those that are designed to address our out-of-control spending problem which the former majority made vastly worse last Congress. In fact, when Democrats were in control of this chamber, they spent so much money through partisan bills that they managed to drive this country into an inflationary crisis. But those aren't my words. Those are the words of former Clinton treasury secretary Larry Summers. The American people elected Republicans to get our fiscal house in order and get our fiscal house in order we will. That starts with making key changes to house rules to ensure we still -- we instill some fiscal sanity in Congress.'
