After passing this bill,
Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman has issued an official statement, he said that
“On top of cutting spending, clawing back Covid funds and several other conservative victories, this is the biggest permitting win we’ve accomplished in decades. Lengthy review processes are costing the American taxpayer trillions of dollars just on public infrastructure projects, not to mention the unknown costs of delayed energy and mining production and lost jobs. By fixing the root cause of our issues – cumbersome and outdated permitting regulations – we are giving every American cause to celebrate. The only people who stand to lose are the serial litigants that have lined their pockets by weaponizing environmental laws for their own personal gain. This legislation slashes bureaucratic red tape that has held communities back for years. I’m honored to have championed the BUILDER Act in our committee both on its own and as part of H.R. 1. I look forward to coming back to the negotiating table in a bipartisan manner to enact even more reforms and drive our nation forward.”
President Biden and Senator Schumer demanded a “clean debt limit,” which really means more taxes and more spending. But that’s not what the American people wanted, or our Founders envisioned, or what Republicans were going to allow. https://t.co/FZoKUvnvnO
